Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Common Denominators
This activity uses interactive number lines to investigate addition and subtraction of fractions that refer to the same whole, with like denominators. Students may reason about the process as 1) decomposing each fraction into unit fractions and counting the total number of unit fractions that wou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/adding-and-subtracting-fractions-with-common-denominators
Triangle Inequalities
In this activity, students will discover the Triangle Inequality Theorem and explore the possible lengths of the third side of a triangle given the other two side lengths. Students will also classify the type of triangle as acute, obtuse, or right using the Pythagorean inequalities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-inequalities
Side-Splitter Theorem
Explore the side-splitter theorem by collecting data from a triangle with a line parallel to one of its sides.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sidesplitter-theorem_1
Vertical and Adjacent Angles
In this introductory or review activity, students will explore vertical and adjacent angles. They will define and identify pairs of angles. Then they will change the intersecting lines of a geometric model to make conjectures about the relationships of the pairs of angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/vertical-and-adjacent-angles_1
Quick Start Guide: Temperature Change With the Vernier Temperature Probe
The Quick Start Guide highlight steps to get started with a TI graphing calculator and Vernier temperature probe, including connecting the probe as well as setting the temperature unit and duration. The guide also includes a sample experiment and questions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/quick-start-temp-probe
Symmetric Secant
Investigate the symmetric secant line to provide an estimate for the derivative of a function at a point.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/symmetric-secant
How Far Am I Off?
Students calculate a confidence interval using the chi-square distribution to estimate a population variance.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-far-am-i-off_1
Percentiles & Z-Scores
Students explore percentiles and z-scores of normal distributions by graphing and calculating.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/percentiles--zscores_1
Geometric Distributions
Students simulate a geometric distribution of rolling a die to determine experimental probabilities and calculate theoretical probabilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometric-distributions_1
Density Curves
Students will be introduced to density curves as a simple analysis of a data set. They also will investigate where the median and mean lie on symmetric or skewed graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/density-curves_1
Out of Control!
Students make XY Line Plots and scatter plots to create run charts and control charts (types of time plots) to determine if a manufacturing process is statistically stable. Students begin by looking for any unusual patterns or trends in variation and then calculate sample means and upper and lowe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/out-of-control
