Laplace Analysis: The s-domain
Demonstrates the utility of symbolic algebra by using the Laplace transform to solve a second-order circuit. The method requires that the circuit be converted from the time-domain to the s-domain and then solved for V(s). The voltage, v(t), of a sourceless, parallel, RLC circuit with initial co...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/laplace-analysis--the-sdomain
How Salty Is It?
Students learn to solve a real-world problem involving salt water. Students will determine the amount of sea salt needed to turn an aquarium into a simulated salt-water environment. They also experiment with items and check their buoyancy in water with varying salt concentrations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-salty-is-it
Hat Trick
Students learn to solve a real-world problem in economics. Students get to understand how surveys often use a sample of people rather than all of the people involved. They also learn how to make decisions based on the results of a sample survey.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/hat-trick
Graphs and Fractions
Have students draw squares on graph paper and half some of the squares on the outside. Number all the squares and continue numbering with the halfs. Students are then instructed to create their own ratios such as: 4 halves to eight wholes of odd numbers etc. Encourage student's to be creative by ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphs-and-fractions
Probability as Relative Frequency
In this activity, students use simulation to justify the concept of the Law of Large Numbers. They understand that as the sample size increases, the relative frequency of which an event occurs approaches the probability of that event happening. Students investigate the binomial and geometric prob...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-as-relative-frequency
Describing Categorical Data - Advanced Placement
Students categorize data using tables and bar charts. They also determine relative frequencies.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/describing-categorical-data--advanced-placement
The Normal Distribution
Students graph normal distributions, shade desired areas, and find related probabilities. They graph Normal probability scatter plots to check the normal (linear) shape of a data distribution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-normal-distribution_1
Exploring Bivariate Data
Students graph scatter plots and understand the concepts of correlation and least-squares regression. They also perform transformations to achieve linearity in the data plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-bivariate-data
Is it Normal
In this activity, students will use the idea of a normal distribution to pull together multiple areas of probability and statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-it-normal
Graphical Displays of Univariate Data
Students will sort data and construct stemplots, dotplots, histrograms, and frequency plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphical-displays-of-univariate-data
Special Cases of Normally Distributed Data
Students perform single and two-sample t procedures to investigate special cases of normally distributed data. They explore inference for a least-square regression line, including the confidence interval.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/special-cases-of-normally-distributed-data
Properties of Parallelograms
In this activity, you will construct the geometric object by following the instructions below, and then answer the questions about the object.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parallelograms_4
Angle Theorem
Students use the Cabri Geometry II Plus software to investigate the relationship between angle and ratio in a right triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angle-theorem
Proportional Flag
Students will use the concepts of similarity to create a scale drawing of the national flag, that is large enough to cover most of a football field.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/proportional-flag
Set Design
Students will use similarity concepts, and the dimensions of the carvings on Mt. Rushmore to create a proportional representation of the carvings for a stage backdrop.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/set-design
Stepping Stones
Students use volume formulas and proportional reasoning to calculate the amount of concrete needed to make stepping stones of a specific size.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stepping-stones
