Heads Up! (continued)

In this activity, students explore how to write and enter a calculator program that will simulate coin tossing for a given number of times and count the number of heads and tails. They analyze the program and modify it.

Heads Up!

In this activity, students study some important concepts of probability. They use coin tossing experiments to determine the probability of a tossed coin coming up heads. They examine both short and long term experimental probabilities and their relationship to the theoretical probability.

Geometric Distributions

Students simulate a geometric distribution of rolling a die to determine experimental probabilities and calculate theoretical probabilities.

Probability Simulations

In this activity, 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 se...

Angles of a Triangle

In this activity, students will measure angles and investigate the relationships between interior and exterior angles of a triangle. They understand the definition of interior angles, exterior angles, adjacent angles, supplementary angles, and remote interior angles.

Angle Bisectors and Medians of Quadrilaterals

In this activity, students will construct angle bisectors and medians in quadrilaterals and explore the properties that appear to be true for four-sided figures. They may find it necessary to review the definitions and properties of special quadrilaterals in order to construct the figures.

Plinko - Frequency Plots and Experimental Probability

In this activity, students simulate the Plinko game from the TV show "The Price Is Right", then use Navigator to share their results for the class. A frequency plot of class results is constructed, and conjectures made as to the experimental probability of winning the big money in this game. Th...

Angle Sum in Triangles Proof using Rotation and a Parallel Line

This investigation uses Cabri Jr. and a cleaver rotation of a triangle to "prove" that the angles in a triangle add up to 180. This could be used to reinforce triangles and paralled lines as well as introduce the concept of rotating an object.

The Euler Line and Its Ratios

In this activity, students will explore the Euler Line of a triangle. Students will discover that the centroid, circumcenter, and orthocenter are collinear. Students will also find that if the triangle is isosceles, then the centroid, circumcenter, incenter, and orthocenter are all collinear. Stu...
