Linear Equation Investigation

Students are given a real-life situation (cost of a birthday party) they must create an algebraic equation, table of values, and a scatterplot of the table that is created. They are asked to explain patterns that they observed in each type of representation and also check their accuracy when cre...

Geometry: Exploring Quadrilaterals

Drag the verices of a quadrilateral and build the different types; focus on the properties of these different figures, and finally put it all together to identify different quadrilaterals from their properties.

Hanging with the Incenter

In this activity, students will explore the angle bisector of the angles of a triangle. Students will discover that the angle bisectors are concurrent. The point of concurrency is the incenter. Students should discover the relationship between the type of triangle and the location of the point of...

Investigating the Angles of a Triangle

The following will find the sum of the interior angles of a triangle and the sum of the remote interior angles of a triangle. Students can then change the type of triangle. The student will see that the sum of the interior angles is always 180 degrees. Also, the student will see that the sum of t...

Whole number: Parts of a Whole

This activity involves students in modeling practical situations using the Part-Whole-Part model provided, and identifying the type of operation required. It can be used to lead into building algebraic expressions if desired.

Comparing Pi's and Roots

This lesson involves manipulating the radius of a circle and the sides of a right triangle in an attempt to set the circumference of the circle equal to the hypotenuse of the right triangle

Sampling

Students learn about each of the four types of random sampling methods and use the randInt command to find each kind of sample from a given population.

Finding Extraneous Solutions

Students will solve different types of equations step by step graphically. They will discover that some of the equations have an extraneous solution and they will investigate at which step in solving the equation that these "extra" solutions appear.

Meaning of Power

In this lesson, samples are generated from a population for a particular hypothesis test, leading to the conjecture that the null hypothesis is actually false.

Candy Pieces

Students will be introduce to hypothesis testing. Students are given the number of pieces by color in a bag of candy. They are asked if they think the bag could have come from a manufacturing process designed to produce equal proportions of each color. They will then use a chi-square test for goo...

Comparing Two Means

In this activity, students will test hypotheses concerning means of two populations. They calculate the test statistic and the critical values and then graph the critical region and plot the value of the test statistic.

Cancer Clusters

Students will investigate cancer incidence rates in a number of states. Hypothesis testing is introduced and used along with a two-proportion z-test to compare cancer rates. This activity helps students to determine when a difference in data is actually statistically significant. This should enco...

The Mean Value Theorem

Students are presented with a several examples of functions to discover the hypotheses and conclusion of the Mean Value theorem. They will explore the concept of continuity and differentiability as related to the Mean Value Theorem.

Somewhere in the Middle

In this activity, students will explore the Mean Value Theorem. Students will find out when the tangent line is parallel to the secant line passing through the endpoints of an interval to help them find the values of c guaranteed to exist by the MVT. Students will also test functions where the hy...

Resampling

This lesson involves approximate sampling distributions obtained from simulations based directly on a single sample. The focus of the lesson is on conducting hypothesis tests in situations for which the conditions of more traditional methods are not met.

Type 2 Error

This activity allows students to experiment with different alpha levels and alternative hypotheses to investigate the relationship among types of error and power.
