In this activity students will learn how to make a simple pendulum. Students' will use a motion detector to measure the period of a pendulum and calculate its acceleration.They will also understand the effect that gravity has on the...

In this activity, students calculate the probable number of Golden-Cheeked Warblers present in a particular area. Students prepare a marked map, calculate the number of square miles in the marked area, and estimate the number of birds...

Students will chart the various ages of the other students in their classroom then the students will multiply the ages by 2 using a lower level calculator. They will then add up the total ages using the same calculator - they can now...

In this activity, students represent percents on a 10 X 10 grid. They use the grid and the calculator to generate patterns that lead to methods for calculating percentages.

In this activity, students take a closer look at numerical methods used to solve initial-value differential equations, including the methods used internally by the calculator. They also learn to solve numerical computations for the...

This activity is designed to show students how to use a graphing calculator to find a limit by graphing, investigating a table, and by using the calc menu. (Continued. See "before the activity.")

Students can use a graphing calculator to find points of discontinuity of a function and then create a new function that corrects the discontinuity. This allows students to complete the assignment with or without the use of the graphing...

In this activity, students can use the calculator's differential equation graphing mode to model projectile motion. They analyze time-height data for a falling object using the statistical features of the calculator. They also compare...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson shows students a way to calculate the "amount" of inbreeding which results from an incestuous pairing. While this is presented in the show as part of a polygamous cult, the...

This activity uses the basic M&M color activity of old to introduce students to CellSheet, CellSheet Converter, and TI-InterActive! while figuring the % Deviation for each color. If there is extra time or for a more advanced math...

Students can use TI 73 calculators to explore equations that create parallel and perpendicular lines. Teacher will use the screen capture feature of the Navigator system to display students graphs and equations to discuss observations to...

Students will learn how to program the TI 83/84 Plus graphing calculator to approximate the area under a curve using Left,Right,Midpoint Riemann Sums, and Trapezoid Rule, and Simpson's Rule.

This session will demonstrate a novel approach to reaction time experiments done in junior science and mathematics courses. Participants will use a Calculator-Based Ranger (CBR) and a TI-83+ to record their reaction times.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to the notion of conditional probability, by having them consider a jar of various colored gumballs. The lesson makes brief use of the Probability Simulator on...

Students will be introduced to right triangle trigonometry. They will use the TI-89 and Geometer's Sketchpad to construct a right triangle and calculate sin, cosine, and tangent of various acute angles.

Students can use the TI-84 Plus family to graph equations of circles.

Charlie determines the probability that a suspect is male or female based on the suspect's height and logistic regression in the "All's Fair" episode of the show NUMB3RS. The lesson includes calculator keystrokes and screenprints to help...

Investigate the relationship among humidity, air temperature, and the heat index while learning about modeling data, evaluating functions, and describing the end behavior of a function. Students will use graphing calculator technology to...

Cross curricular lines while integrating technology into your classroom to study a real-world application of logistic regression. This activity shows students how to enter data into their graphing calculators and perform a regression in...

This activity provides participants the opportunity to model and simulate projectile motion using a program and the TI-83/84 family of graphing calculators. It is a preliminary in-class activity used prior to actual launching an...

In this activity, students analyze statistical data Using the calculator and the TI-InterActive! software. They perform regression on the data to find the life expectancy of people in Canada.

This is a PROGRAM that can be used on any TI-8X+ There are 6 levels that takes the students through the process of checking their ability to recognize slope, calculate slope, form linear functions that satisfy given information.

Students will use acidity to calculate molarity using this TI-InterActive worksheet.

Students can use Cabri Jr. software on their TI-83/84 calculator to connect consecutive midpoints of different quadrilaterals and analyze and determine characteristics of the new quadrilateral formed.
