Statistics & Probability with the TI-89

Authentic Learning Activities in Middle School Mathematics: Patterns, Functions, & Algebra

The information age has made statistics one of the most important branches of mathematics. It should be explored using real data from interesting and current sources. Using this book, students enter real data onto spreadsheets or into statistical plots on the TI-83 Plus while you guide their learning and help them draw appropriate inferences. Keying sequences guide them through the labyrinth of statistics menus on the TI-83 Plus without the need to page through the calculator manual. Detailed solutions at the back of the book help students over obstacles to their learning and the application of various statistical techniques accessible on the TI-83 Plus menus and submenus are absorbed with minimal effort as the concepts of statistics are explored. Programs are included to perform experiments such as those applied in Monte Carlo investigations. Historical vignettes are included to add a human dimension to the mathematical excursions. The topics included are statistical inference, data graphs, central tendency, measures of dispersion, correlation, regression lines, statistical distributions such as the normal distribution, the Central Limit Theorem, sampling, Monte Carlo methods, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. The probability density functions for the binomial, normal, t, Chi Square and F distributions are defined and their properties are explored in terms of their application to tests of hypotheses. For those with the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, this book includes references to the statistical simulations involving coin and dice tossing experiments found on the Applications menu.

Statistics with the TI-83 Plus & TI-83 Plus SE

The properties of functions should be explored and discovered rather than taught and drilled. Students can explore various types of functions on the TI-83 Plus in cooperative groups or on their own as you facilitate their learning. Keying sequences guide them through the variety of menus on the TI-83 Plus without the need to page through the calculator manual. Detailed solutions at the back of the book help students over obstacles to their learning and the operation of the menus and submenus are absorbed with minimal effort as the mathematics is learned. Deeper investigations are included to challenge the more capable student, and historical vignettes are introduced to add a human dimension to the mathematical excursions. This new publication has been expanded to include a more detailed treatment of linear and quadratic functions found in most state and provincial guidelines. The topics include finding zeros, domain and range, extrema, and singularities of polynomial and rational functions. Properties of the trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions are also explored. Topics also include the study of limits and asymptotic behavior, polar coordinates, parametric equations and conics.

Functions with the TI-83 Plus & TI-83 Plus SE

This is the third publication in the trilogy for the TI-83 Plus and TI-83 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculators. (The first two are currently distributed by Amazon.com) This book develops the algebra in the high school mathematics curriculum using the TI-83 Plus graphing calculators. It consists of 20 lessons involving explorations, instructional examples with keying sequences and exercises with detailed solutions. This is an update and extension of our publication for the TI-83 calculator titled, Exploring Advanced Algebra with the TI-83.
