How do You Measure Up? (with the TI-10)
Students measure weight, height, and length with the help of a balance, scales, rulers, yardstick, and tape measures. They use their TI-10 to find proportions and to round off answers to whole numbers.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-do-you-measure-up-with-the-ti10
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
Confidence Intervals
Students understand the confidence intervals for a proportion and for a mean. They also examine the confidence intervals for the difference between two means, and for the difference between two proportions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-intervals
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
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
Exploring Bivariate Data
Students graph scatter plots and understand the concepts of correlation and least-squares regression. They also perform transformations to achieve linearity in the data plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-bivariate-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
Angle Theorem
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to investigate the relationship between angle and ratio in a right triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angle-theorem
Set Design
Students will use similarity concepts, and the dimensions of the carvings on Mt. Rushmore to create a proportional representation of the carvings for a stage backdrop.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/set-design
Stepping Stones
Students use volume formulas and proportional reasoning to calculate the amount of concrete needed to make stepping stones of a specific size.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stepping-stones
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
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
Match the graph
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to reflect points from a graph across the axes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/match-the-graph
Area of Triangle
This Cabri Geometry activity enables students to review the relationship between the height of a triangle and its perimeter and area.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-triangle
Dilation
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to investigate the geometric property of dilation. They vary the scale factor and examine the effect on the dilation of a triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dilation
Exploring the Unit Circle
In this activity, students explore the properties of a unit circle and its mapping functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-unit-circle
