Solving Systems of Linear Equations with Row Reductions to Echelon Form on Augmented Matrices

This activity shows the user how to interpret a system of linear equations as an augmented matrix, row reduce the matrix to echelon form, and interpret the output to give a unique solution, generate infinite solutions, or conclude no solutions exist. The activity also shows how to check unique so...

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...

Move Those Chains

In this activity, students will explore the Chain Rule. Students are asked to make a conjecture of the derivative of f(x) = (2x + 1)2 based on the Power Rule. They are then asked to graph their derivative function and compare it to the graph of f´(x). They will then examine "true" statements abou...

Are They Truly Random?

Students will develop lists of random numbers generated by the TI-Nspire handheld. They will explore their set of numbers and engage in a discussion of whether the random number generator is truly generating numbers at random. In addition, students will look at statistical models of their num...

Assessing Normality

In this activity, students will learn four characteristics of a normal curve: the distribution is symmetric and mound-shaped; the mean and median are approximately equal; the distribution meets the 68-95.5-99.7 rule; and the normal probability plot is linear. They will use these to determine if a...

Volume by Cross Sections

Students will be introduced to the concept of finding the volume of a solid formed by cross sections of a function that form certain shapes.

Difference Between Two Proportions

Students use confidence intervals to estimate the difference of two population proportions. First they find the intervals by calculating the critical value and the margin of error. Then, they use the 2-propZInterval command. Students find confidence intervals for differences in proportions in rea...
