NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Democracy" - I Never Metadata I Didn't Like
In "Democracy", Charlie investigates the death of a friend. He finds columns of numbers on her computer, and because they are not labeled, he does not know what they mean. He explains, "Numbers tend to come in groups 'it's called metadata' information about data". In this activity, students will ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--democracy--i-never-metadata-i-didnt-like
The Number of Years

Manipulating Lab Data: The Diode
Introduces the Shockley diode equation, which gives the voltage-current characteristics of a diode. The equation is plotted and compared to actual diode data taken in a laboratory. The method of importing data to the TI-89 is shown, followed by instructions on how to manipulate the data to prep...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/manipulating-lab-data--the-diode
Football Scores
Students will determine the possible combinations of scoring events in a football game to reach a specific end score.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/football-scores
Comparing Distributions of Univariate Data
Students compare univariate data distributions using statistical concepts like boxplots, stemplots, and histograms.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-distributions-of-univariate-data
Dividing Notes
Students create an altered musical melody by dividing fractions. They compute the value of notes in terms of fractions and make their sum equal to the time signature.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dividing-notes
Cottage Water Problem
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to solve a geometry problem. They move the vertex point that is common to two right triangles along the base to find the smallest possible sum of the length of the hypotenuse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cottage-water-problem
What's So Special About 11?
Students will compute multiples of numbers in search of patterns. As a class, they'll discover patterns in multiples of 9; then they'll do the same with patterns in multiples of 11. They will then practice writing the rule for 11, both verbally and algebraically, to summarize the discovered patte...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-so-special-about-11
The Best Cell Phone Plan
Students will compare two cell phone plans and determine which plan is better for a specific situation. They will utilize both tables and graphs to make their decisions. For this activity, students need prior experience writing linear models.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-best-cell-phone-plan_1
Let's Count the Ways
Students will be introduced to the different ways to calculate numbers of outcomes, including using the counting principle. They will also evaluate expressions using permutations of data without repeat elements, both manually and on the TI-34 MultiView™ calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/lets-count-the-ways_1
To Simplify or Not to Simplify...
Students will discuss fractions and what it means to simplify them using prime factorization. Students will then use the calculator to simplify fractions manually as well as investigate both the prime factorization and greatest common factors of the numerator and denominator in various fractions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/to-simplify-or-not-to-simplify
