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 sex of children in a family.
Texas Instruments activity involving function transformations with domain and range.
Students investigate inequalities applied to volume and perimeter.
In this activity, students review the definition of rational numbers as ratios and as terminating and repeating decimals. They also examine the reciprocal property of rational numbers and operations with rational numbers.
Students explore the ratio of perimeter, area, surface area, and volume of similar figures in two and three dimensional figures.
Texas Instruments activity exploring the difference between similarity and congruence with transformations.
Texas Instrument Activity. Students will construct and explore medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors of triangles. They then drag the vertices to see where the intersections of the segments lie in relation to the triangle, and they measure distances to identify relationships.
Texas Instruments activity using the properties of special right triangles.
In this activity, students will make a variety of squares using square tiles and the Table feature of the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition™ to discover patterns and make predictions off those patterns; Requires TI technology.
In this activity, students will increase their understanding of the use of the formula T = r ? p, which is encountered both in the real world and in most Algebra classes. They will calculate the amount of taxes and tips exactly, and then use estimation.
Students use the RandInt() command to simulate the tossing of a coin and the rolling of a die.
Texas Instruments activity that describes functions and the effect of transformations on domain an range; requires TI-83/84 technology.
Texas Instruments activity where students use list operations to perform reflections, rotations, translations and dilations on a figure, and graph the resulting image using a scatter plot.
Texas Instruments activity exploring different transformations and the effect on domain and range.
In this activity, students will discover how pictures formed by graphing ordered pairs can be stretched (and shrunk) by multiplying (and dividing) the coordinates.
Students investigate linear equations that form a triangle and determine which vertex is a solution to a system of equations.
Sstudents will use a graphing calculator to discover the relationship between the trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, and tangent, and the ratios of the side lengths of a right triangle.
In this activity, students use Venn Diagrams to classify numbers. They will first classify multiples of 3, 5, and 6, deciding where to place the least common multiple. Then, students will use the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition™ integer division and remainder features to help them classify factors of three different numbers.
In this activity, students will explore multiplication and division of fractions using several representations to develop fluency. Students will also solve problems involving similarity using proportions.
Students will use the Rational Zero Theorem to find all rational zeros of a polynomial.
