Electromagnetics
Describes how to use the TI-89 to solve Laplace's equation for two-dimensional electrostatic problems. The separation of variables method provides exact solutions but is restricted to specific geometries. The relaxation method is applicable to any geometry, but it provides only an approximate s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/electromagnetics
Making Picture Graphs
Students learn to make picture graphs with symbols that represent more than one piece of data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-picture-graphs
Laplace Analysis: The s-domain
Demonstrates the utility of symbolic algebra by using the Laplace transform to solve a second-order circuit. The method requires that the circuit be converted from the time-domain to the s-domain and then solved for V(s). The voltage, v(t), of a sourceless, parallel, RLC circuit with initial co...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/laplace-analysis--the-sdomain
Hat Trick
Students learn to solve a real-world problem in economics. Students get to understand how surveys often use a sample of people rather than all of the people involved. They also learn how to make decisions based on the results of a sample survey.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hat-trick
Probability as Relative Frequency
In this activity, students use simulation to justify the concept of the Law of Large Numbers. They understand that as the sample size increases, the relative frequency of which an event occurs approaches the probability of that event happening. Students investigate the binomial and geometric prob...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-as-relative-frequency
Describing Categorical Data - Advanced Placement
Students categorize data using tables and bar charts. They also determine relative frequencies.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/describing-categorical-data--advanced-placement
The Normal Distribution
Students graph normal distributions, shade desired areas, and find related probabilities. They graph Normal probability scatter plots to check the normal (linear) shape of a data distribution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-normal-distribution_1
Summarizing Distributions of Univariate Data
Students understand statistical concepts like center of data and the amount of data variation from the center. They calculate the measures of the center of a distribution and the measures of spread for the data collected as a list. Students also create boxplots for the data. They examine the effe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/summarizing-distributions-of-univariate-data
Creating Word Problems
Students write word problems based on the whole numbers generated by the calculator. They decide on an operation to solve the problems. Finally, they analyze the problems to determine the problem characteristics when using operations on whole numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/creating-word-problems
Number and Operation Sense: Rational Numbers
Students learn to use the calculator to collect a set of data in order to identify patterns that illustrate important rational number concepts: the relationship between rational numbers and division, and equivalent fraction and decimal forms for rational numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/number-and-operation-sense-rational-numbers
Looks Right
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to determine which given triangle retains its basic shape after its vertices are dragged around the screen.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/looks-right
Homestead-Miami Chase Activity
In this activity, students will investigate whether it is better to take the shortest path or the fastest path.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/homesteadmiami-chase-activity
Can Pythagoras Swim?
Students will investigate relationships between sides of right triangles to understand the Pythagorean theorem and then use it to solve problems. Students will simplify expressions using radicals and exponents in this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/can-pythagoras-swim
Absolute Values
Students will review the set of integers along with the addition and subtraction of integers using a number line. Then, they will learn that the absolute value of a number is defined as the distance from zero. Students will learn how to interpret the absolute value symbol algebraically, as well a...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/absolute-values
