Use three Riemann sums used to estimate the area of a plane region.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/riemann-rectangle-errors
Relating Rates - IB
Students are given a situation of water draining out of a cylindrical tank in order to explain the process of solving related rates questions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/relating-rates_1
Center of Mass
Students will identify and interpret the mean geometrically as the location of the coins on the ruler such that the sum of the distances on either side of the mean is the same.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/center-of-mass
Center and Spread
Students will recognize that the mean and standard deviation (SD) and the median and interquartile range (IQR) are two ways to measure center and spread.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/center-and-spread
Mean Value Theorem
Calculate slopes of secant lines, create tangent lines with the same slope, and note observations about the functions and slopes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mean-value-theorem_1
Maximums, Minimums, and Zeroes
Determine when a function has a maximum or minimum based on the derivative of the function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maximums-minimums-and-zeroes
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 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
Local Linearity
Visualize the idea of derivative as local slope.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/local-linearity
Confidence Levels
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. They 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
Conditional Probability
This lesson involves thinking about probability when additional information is given.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conditional-probability
Natural Logarithm
Construct the graph of the natural logarithm function from its definition.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/natural-logarithm
Stretching the Quads
In this activity, students will stretch and translate the parabola given by y = x2 and determine the effects on the equation. Students will also explore finding the vertex and zeros of a parabola and relate them to the equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stretching-the-quads
NASA:Taking a Walk in the Neuroscience Laboratories
Within the Neuroscience Laboratories, many different functions are tested. For example, researchers in the Motion Laboratory focus on the post-flight disturbances in balance and gait control—areas with which many astronauts struggle. This laboratory develops training programs that will faci...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--taking-a-walk
NASA - Space Shuttle Launch
Student examine the ascent stage of a NASA space shuttle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-shuttle-launch
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 - Space Shuttle Ascent
This activity will engage students in a space shuttle launch and introduce them to the different events that take place during the space shuttle's ascent into space.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-shuttle-ascent_1
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
Intersecting the Solutions
In this teacher-led activity, students will learn to solve systems of equations graphically. They will learn the relationship between the algebraic and graphical solutions and create equations that draw upon this connection.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intersecting-the-solutions
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
