Comparing Prices
Students will compare average U.S. gasoline prices per gallon for two years. Then they will use the mean and standard deviation (SD) and the median and interquartile range (IQR) to measure the center and spread of price data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-prices
Comparing Two Means
In this activity, students will test hypotheses concerning means of two populations. They calculate the test statistic and the critical values and then graph the critical region and plot the value of the test statistic.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-two-means_1
MacLaurin Polynomials
Students will use TI-Nspire technology to explore MacLaurin polynomials. They will develop polynomials that approximate very special functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maclaurin-polynomials_1
Confidence Levels for Proportions
This activity involves generating a confidence interval for a population proportion from a random sample of size 100 and considering how certain one can be that this interval contains the actual population proportion.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-levels-for-proportions
Confidence Levels for Means
Students will interpret a confidence level as the average success rate of the process used to produce an interval intended to contain the true mean of the population. Students will recognize that as the confidence level increases, on average, the confidence interval increases in width.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-levels-for-means
Confidence Intervals for Proportions
This lesson involves the concept of confidence intervals as a tool to make statements about a population proportion based on a given sample.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-intervals-for-proportions_1
Confidence Intervals for Means
This activity investigates generating a confidence interval for the mean of a random sample of size 100 from an unknown population.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-intervals-for-means_1
Properties of Logarithms
Logarithms are just another way of writing exponents. Just like exponents, logarithms have properties that allow you to simplify expressions and solve equations. In this activity, students Will discover some of these properties by graphing and confirm them with algebra.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-logarithms
Natural Logarithm
Construct the graph of the natural logarithm function from its definition.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/natural-logarithm
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
NASA - Space Shuttle Guidance, Navigation, and Control Data
In this activity, students will see how the position of the shuttle is deteremined and how the GNC officer ensures that the space shuttle arrives at its pre-determined destination as outlined by mission objectives.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-shuttle-guidance-navigation-and-control-data
NASA - Robonaut 2: First Humanoid Robot in Space
NASA uses robots in many ways to help with space exploration. When it’s possible for robots to perform tasks, rather than people, there are some obvious advantages. Robots do not have to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep. They can perform tasks over and over in exactly the same way without gett...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--robonaut-2-first-humanoid-robot-in-space
How Many Solutions?
Students graph systems of linear functions to determine the number of solutions. In the investigation, students are given one line and challenged to draw a second line that creates a system with a particular number of solutions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-solutions
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...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/are-they-truly-random
Half-Life
Students will explore exponential decay through an experiment and use the gathered data to generate an exponential regression equation. Students will then repeat the process with a data set and forecast future results.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/halflife
Areas In Intervals
Students use several methods to determine the probability of a given normally distributed value being in a given interval. First, they use the Integral tool to find areas under the curve and to the left of given values. Students continue the activity to find probabilities for which the correspond...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/areas-in-intervals
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
The Derivatives of Logs
Students will use the Chain Rule to find the derivative of more complex exponential and logarithmic functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-derivatives-of-logs
The Classic Box Problem - Calculus
