SD: Measure of Spread
This lesson is intended as an introductory activity to the concept of standard deviation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sd--measure-of-spread
SD: How Far is Typical?
This lesson involves gaining a basic understanding of what standard deviation is measuring by examining the location of data around the mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sd--how-far-is-typical
Goodness-Of-Fit
Students test claims of whether given distributions "fit" theoretical distributions. Students will work through two problems, one in which the theoretical proportions of each category are the same and one in which they are not. Students will use spreadsheets to calculate test statistics and the I...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/goodnessoffit_1
Are You Confident?
A brief review of the normal distribution in Problem 1 followed by a visual development of confidence intervals in Problem 2 using simulated data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/are-you-confident
Introduction to the Central Limit Theorem
Students discover the Central Limit Theorem by simulating rolls of two, four, and seven number cubes via the random number generator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-the-central-limit-theorem_1
Hypothesis Testing: Means
Students test a claim about a mean with a large sample size using the test statistic and the critical value. They also find the area under the curve to find the p value. Then, students will see how the result would change if they used a one-percent significance level or smaller sample size. An op...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hypothesis-testing-means_1
Catching the Rays
Students will fit a sinusoidal function to a set of data. The data are the number of hours of daylight starting January 1st and collected on the first and sixteenth days of the months in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/catching-the-rays
Boats in Motion
Students make observations about the motion of a boat going up and down the river. They will solve the system of equations algebraically and graphically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/boats-in-motion_1
Investigation into the Sine Function
This activity leads the students through an investigation into the zeroes, domain and range of the sine graph. It continues investigating the transformations of the sine graph thus leading to the sinusoidal graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigation-into-the-sine-function
Investigating Logistic Functions and Applications
Students will investigate the graphs of logistic functions, function characteristics, and solving logistic equations in Problem 1. Application problems that are modeled by logistic functions are completed in Problem 2-4. This activity is appropriate for Algebra II or Precalculus.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-logistic-functions-and-applications
How to Animate Graphs Part 1
Animating graphs, adding styles and coloring a graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-to-animate-graphs-part-1
Focus/Directrix Definition of Conics
This lesson involves observing and describing relationships between the focus and the directrix of each conic: parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/focusdirectrix-definition-of-conics
Graphs of Sine and Cosine
The goal of this activity is for students to see how the graphs of sine and cosine are generated and related to the unit circle. A point is animated around the unit circle as data points are captured to create a scatter plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-of-sine-and-cosine
How Many Solutions to the System?
Understand the difference between systems that have one, infinitely many , or no solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-many-solutions-to-the-system
Graphing the Tangent to a Curve
Students will graph a function and the graph of the tangent line's slope as a point moves around the curve.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-the-tangent-to-a-curve
Polynomials: Factors, Roots and Zeroes
Investigate graphical and algebraic representations of a polynomial function and its linear factors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polynomials-factors-roots-and-zeroes
