NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Better or Worse" - Creating Random Numbers

Random numbers are used every day in many different ways. Banks use random numbers to make codes to send information over the internet; lotteries use random numbers to choose winners; computer games use random numbers to determine what will happen next. Depending on their use, it may be important...

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Hardball" - Is It for Real

In "Hardball," an amateur mathematician uncovers an equation that uses baseball statistics to identify which players are using performance enhancing substances. By analyzing player performance, he is able to determine when an athlete began using a performance enhancing substance. Students will us...

Explore Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Students will use a graphing calculator to explore graphs of parallel and perpendicular lines. Students will find that parallel lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts and that the slopes of two perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. This Technology Lab accompa...

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Contenders" - Choosing Contenders

In "Contenders," the FBI asks Charlie and Amita to look at official league rankings of each fighter and compare them with their own 'rankings,' created using the skill levels and past performances of each fighter. They find that one fighter has had an easy path to the championship because this fi...

Chi-Squared Tests

In this activity, students will look at a problem situation that involves categorical data and will determine which is the appropriate chi-square test to use: the chi-squared goodness of fit or the chi-squared two-way test.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chisquare-distributions

Describing Categorical Data

Students analyze the distribution of categorical data. They calculate percents and visually compare the data sets with a bar chart.

Describing Bivariate Data (Two Quantitative Variables)

Students explore the relationship between two quantitative variables in bivariate data using various x-y plots. They compare the relationships for several categories on the same plot. Students calculate the correlation coefficient to measure the strength and direction of the linear relationship t...

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Mind Games" - Right or Wrong

In "Mind Games," a psychic shocks Charlie by incorrectly guessing the color (black or red) of 25 cards in a row. As Larry says, "the probability of getting them all wrong is the same as getting them all right." This activity applies the binomial theorem to the probability of correctly guessing a ...

Move it

In this activity, students investigate transformation, slides and scaling, of a triangle using lists. They will add, subtract and multiply numbers to the list and describe the changes that have occurred. Students are to make the connection between changing the x- or y-values and the transformation.

Using Venn Diagrams to Find the GCD

In this activity, students use Venn Diagrams to classify numbers. They will first classify multiples of 3, 5, and 6, deciding where to place the least common multiple. Then, students will use the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition™ integer division and remainder features to help them classify fact...

Where Did the Parentheses Go

In this activity, students use the order of operations and number properties to create a unique expression from a set of numbers that must equal another number. Then, they will place parenthesis in a number statement to make it true. Students will also identify properties commonly used to evaluat...
