NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Rampage" - I...It...Itera...Iteration
In "Rampage," a suspect enters the FBI Bullpen and moves about, apparently shooting people at random. Charlie examines a diagram of the killer's path through the Bullpen and suggests it might resemble Brownian motion. In this activity, students first model this motion with ten iterations by hand...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--rampage--i---it---itera---iteration

Analyzing Variance (ANOVA)
Students analyze variances of various data samples.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/analyzing-variance-anova
Fractions Number Line
A number line showing equivalent fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-number-line
Discovering the Quadrilateral Properties
This activity will use Cabri™ Jr. to allow students' the ability to discover all of the properties of each quadrilateral, rather than simply copying them out of a textbook.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discovering-the-quadrilateral-properties
Isosceles Triangle
In this activity, students construct isosceles and equilateral triangles. They discover that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. They understand that an equilateral triangle is also equiangular.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/isosceles-triangle
Multiple choice questions on Locus of points
Students use StudyCards(tm) to answer multiple choice questions about points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/multiple-choice-questions-on-locus-of-points
Scientific Notation
This activity gives students an opportunity to see where large and small numbers are used and how scientific notation offers a convenient method of writing such numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/scientific-notation
Exploring the Centroid of a Triangle
In this activity, students investigate what happens when all three medians of a triangle are drawn. They learn how to locate the centroid. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geome...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-centroid-of-a-triangle
Mirror, Mirror, on the Graph
In this activity, students review basic geometry vocabulary while investigating reflections on a coordinate grid.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mirror-mirror-on-the-graph
Measures of Central Tendency Activity: Height of the Class
The purpose of this lesson is to have students create a box and whiskers plot from collecting class data of each person's height.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measures-of-central-tendency-activity-height-of-the-class
Ordering Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
Students explore numbers and number representations for fractions, decimals, and percents.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ordering-fractions-decimals-percents
Statistical Plots
This activity gives students an opportunity to select and create the most appropriate graph to represent a given data set.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/statistical-plots
Exploring the Orthocenter of a Triangle
In this activity, students use the Cabri™ Jr. tools to draw altitudes in a triangle. They construct a line perpendicular to a given line and through a given point. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathemat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-orthocenter-of-a-triangle
Using Venn Diagrams to Find the GCD
In this activity, students use Venn Diagrams to classify numbers. They will first classify multiples of 3, 5, and 6, deciding where to place the least common multiple. Then, students will use the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition™ integer division and remainder features to help them classify fact...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-venn-diagrams-to-find-the-gcd
Where Did the Parentheses Go
In this activity, students use the order of operations and number properties to create a unique expression from a set of numbers that must equal another number. Then, they will place parenthesis in a number statement to make it true. Students will also identify properties commonly used to evaluat...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/where-did-the-parentheses-go
The Marble Experiment
Students determine, by examining a graph, if a data set has a positive or negative correlation coefficient.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-marble-experiment
The Variables of Renting
In this activity, students will identify what a variable is, construct a table of values, graph the ordered pairs from the table, and use the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition to graph the equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-variables-of-renting
The Same Name Game
In this activity, students explore the meaning and purpose of equivalent fractions. They also practice writing fractions that meet a given criteria.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-same-name-game
Estimating Square Roots
In this activity, students develop an understanding of the relationship between a number and its square root. They will first recognize perfect squares and order them from least to greatest with other numbers. Then students will estimate the square root of a number using perfect squares.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-square-roots
Drawing Conclusions
This activity introduces students to the concept of collecting and analyzing data and using conjectures to formulate new questions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/drawing-conclusions
Give Me a Hand or Leaf Me Alone - TI-83
