Forensics Case 13 - Life in the Fast Lane: Using skid marks to determine vehicle speed
Students determine the coefficient of friction between a vehicle and a road surface. They use the length of the skidding distance to determine the speed of a vehicle before its brakes were applied. Students convert between SI units and Imperial units and rearrange equations to solve for different...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forensics-case-13brlife-in-the-fast-lane-using-skid-marks-to-determine-vehicle-speed
Recycled Sounds
Students create a musical instrument from empty 1-liter bottles and use fractional equivalents to tune the bottles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recycled-sounds
Transmission Lines
Describes how to calculate the characteristic impedance and phase velocity on transmission lines. Steady state transmission line behavior and simple matching concepts are included also. The functions reflcoef(), lineleng(), zin(), yin() and vswr() are created.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transmission-lines
Convolution
Shows the convolution of two functions. To simplify the details, the functions are finite, piecewise, and continous.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/convolution
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Take Out" - No Fly Zone
In "Take Out", a series of restaurant robberies prompts the FBI to ask Charlie to help predict the restaurant most likely to be targeted next. Charlie says that it can be thought of like a spider catching its prey in a web. Even the best constructed web can not catch all insects. There exist regi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--take-out--no-fly-zone
Exploring Hurricane Strength
In the activity, we explore multiple regression equations among Saffir-Simpson Scale, Pressure, Wind Speed, and Storm Surge of hurricanes. We relate our models to Hurricane Katrina, Gustav, and Ike.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-hurricane-strength
Measurement and Geometry
Students explore the use of manipulatives to conduct simple geometry and measurement activities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measurement-and-geometry
Randomization in Sampling and Experiments
This activity covers random sampling and randomization for experiments.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/randomization-in-sampling-and-experiments
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
Graphical Displays of Univariate Data
Students will sort data and construct stemplots, dotplots, histrograms, and frequency plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphical-displays-of-univariate-data
Sampling Distribution of Differences
This activity covers the distribution of a difference between two independent sample proportions or two independent sample means.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sampling-distribution-of-differences
Tests of Significance
Students understand how tests of significance can be performed with confidence intervals. They use a simulation to clarify the meaning of a hypothesis. Students examine large sample tests for a proportion, mean, difference between two proportions, and difference between two means. They also study...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tests-of-significance
Special Cases of Normally Distributed Data
Students perform single and two-sample t procedures to investigate special cases of normally distributed data. They explore inference for a least-square regression line, including the confidence interval.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/special-cases-of-normally-distributed-data
So Many Zeros!
Students will explore standard and scientific notation representations of numbers. Students will also discuss the need for different representations of very large or small numbers, and they will see real-world examples of these representations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/so-many-zeros
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
Pizza Extravaganza
Students will conduct a survey of the class to determine favorite pizza toppings. They use this sample information to predict the preferred toppings for the school and use the TI-15 to help them with the calculations to plan a school-wide pizza party.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pizza-extravaganza
Who Needs Mixed Numbers?
Students divide and multiply mixed numbers and fractions in real-life examples relating to carpentry.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/who-needs-mixed-numbers_1
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
