This series introduces students to the use of the Texas Instruments' TI-Nspire calculator to solve real-life problems and its many applications.
Segment 1: Geometry Basics. The observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, provides astronomers insights into the structure of our solar system. The solar system relies on the plane known as the eliptic. In studying the Earth's orbit it is important to know that the Earth's ...
The U.S. mortgage crisis demonstrates how data analysis and probability are used in finance and economics. Students learn the key factors that determine monthly mortgage payments, and use the TI-Nspire to create an amortization table. Students use the amortization ...
Three real-world examples of exponential models are explored through the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, demonstrating how Algebra is useful in geology. Students analyze data, perform an exponential regression, use an exponential model, create a logarithmic model, and ...
Introduces the use of the Texas Instruments' TI-Nspire graphic calculator to solve real-life problems involving functions and relations. Examples range from the lift-off and pre-orbital path of a rocket, to a rocket in orbit, to the orbits of planets, to the trajectory of a ...
Introduces the use of the Texas Instruments' TI-Nspire graphic calculator to solve real-life problems involving inequalities. Examples range from Venice floods to an analysis of how mileage for hybrid cars compares with mileage for cars with gasoline engines only. Students integrate ...
