The Integrated Medical Model
As NASA is designing a new spacecraft capable of taking humans into deep space, and with the future advent of commercial spaceflight, a deeper and better understanding of medical risk has become even more vital for maintaining spaceflight safety and health for humans.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-integrated-medical-model
Square it Up!
Students investigate the method of least squares by adding the squares to a scatter plot and moving a line to find the minimum sum. Then they compare their line to the built-in linear regression model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/square-it-up
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...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/candy-pieces_1
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...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cancer-clusters
But What Do You Mean?
In this activity, students learn about the concept of mean or average, in addition to learning several ways to find the mean on the TI-Nspire handheld (including using a spreadsheet and the mean command). Students also use these methods to find the mean when given the frequencies of each number i...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/but-what-do-you-mean
Graphs of Polynomial Functions
The activity begins by having students compare functions to introduce the concept of end behavior. Then they graph cubics and quartics, noting the respective end behaviors for positive and negative leading coefficients. Finally, they compare quadratics to quartics and cubics to quintics to discov...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-of-polynomial-functions
Solids of Revolution
Students will investigate 3D visualizations of volumes created by rotating a function about the x-or y-axis. They will understand the concept and reason for the volume formula in order to be prepared for generalizations. Students will solve the definite integral by hand using the fundamental theo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solids-of-revolution
Probability Simulations
Students use the random integer (randInt) command to simulate probability experiments. They also graph the number of trials and corresponding probabilities to observe the Law of Large Numbers. Simulated experiments involve tossing a coin, spinning a spinner, and observing the gender of children i...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-simulations_1
Probability Distributions
Students list outcomes for probability experiments such as flipping a coin, rolling number cubes, and observing the sex of each child born in a family. They use these outcomes to record the values of random variables, such as number of tails, sum of the cubes, and number of boys. Students then cr...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-distributions_2
Infinite Geometric Series
In this activity, students will explore infinite geometric series. They will consider the effect of the value for the common ratio and determine whether an infinite geometric series converges or diverges. Students will numerically analyze infinite geometric series using spreadsheets.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/infinite-geometric-series_1
