Students will use a statis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--waste-not--different-or-not
How Random!
Students use simulations and graphs to explore the common sense notion that repeatedly flipping a coin results in "heads up" about half of the time. First, they simulate an experiment by representing single coin flips with random numbers. Next, they use a given formula to simulate multiple coin f...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-random_1
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Traffic" - What is Random
In "Traffic", Charlie lectures about randomness, explaining that 'our brains misperceive evenness as random and wrongly assume that groupings are deliberate'. In mathematics, we expect to see some clustering, or an occasional appearance of a pattern, when examining truly random events. In this ac...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--traffic--what-is-random
Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
Using Activity Center, students can move on a picture of a pair of parallel lines cut by a transversal to answer teacher questions related to the picture. The picture is set up so that it is on the screen of the student calculator as well as the classroom display.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal
What Quadrilateral Is It?
Students will algebraically determine what type of quadrilateral that is pictured in the activity center.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-quadrilateral-is-it
Walking the Fence Line
In this activity, students use the Geoboard to determine the perimeter of polygons. They learn to picture square roots visually as the side length of a square.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/walking-the-fence-line
Probability Simulations
In this activity, students use the random integer (randInt) command to simulate probability experiments. They also graph the number of trials and corresponding probabilities to observe the Law of Large Numbers. Simulated experiments involve tossing a coin, spinning a spinner, and observing the se...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-simulations
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Longshot" - Expected Value
In "Longshot", a man is murdered after the horse he bet on won a race. A notebook filled with horse racing data and equations is found on the victim. Charlie finds that the equations were designed to pick the second place finisher. He explains that the racetrack uses a pari-mutuel betting system,...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--longshot--expected-value
Ratios in Right Triangles
The study of properties of right triangles is a major topic in mathematics. In this activity, you will investigate three common right triangle trigonometric ratios.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ratios-in-right-triangles
Experimentally Calculating Pi
Because the diameter of a circle is related to the circumference of a circle, we can find this constant relationship by measuring several lids and fitting a regression line to the data. The slope of this line is pi. This is a great activity to allow students to discover that Pi is the relations...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/experimentally-calculating-pi
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Contenders" - Choosing Contenders
