Exploring Roman Numerals
Students will construct their own knowledge of Roman numerals by using a Roman numeral calculator on their handhelds.
Exploring Literature and Weather through Chirps
In this lesson students will learn, explore and experience using crickets' chirps to calculate temperature. Students will also read both fiction and nonfiction stories and books about crickets.
Exploring Integers
Students will explore and implement the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing negative integers. This lesson would take place after each operation is explored individually.
Discovering Decimals
Students will learn about and work with decimals to the thousandths using their handhelds. They will read a web page, show they knowledge in an animation and finally test their knowledge in a game.
Angles in Art Lesson
Students will use the Angles program on their handheld. They will use the angles from the Angles program to create a non-objective artwork. Students will look at images by famous artists and discover that artists use angles in art.
Instructors Notes for the t-distribution activity
The t-distribution activity is a student-based in-class activity to illustrate the conceptual reason for the t-distribution. Students use TI-83/84 calculators to conduct a simulation of random samples.
Simulation of the t-distribution
The t-distribution activity is a student-based in-class activity to illustrate the conceptual reason for the t-distribution. Students use TI-83/84 calculators to conduct a simulation of random samples.
T Probabilities
The applet in this section allows you to see how the T distribution is related to the Standard Normal distribution by calculating probabilities. The T distribution is primarily used to make inferences on a Normal mean when the variance is unknown.
Regression
This applet from Statistical Java allows the user to generate bivariate data for analysis with simple linear regression. The page describes the equations used to generate the data and estimate the regression lines.
Power Applet
The applets in this section of Statistical Java address Power. Users can perform one or two tailed tests for proportions or means for one or two samples. Set the parameters and drag the mouse across the graph to see how effect size affects power.
The Poisson Distribution
This applet allows the user to adjust the value of lambda of the Poisson distribution with a slider or manual input. The applet allows the user to fix the x and or y axes. The user immediately sees how this affects the shape of the graph.
Normal Distribution
The applets in this section allow users to see how probabilities and quantiles are determined from a Normal distribution. For calculating probabilities, set the mean, variance, and limits; for calculating quantiles, set the mean, variance, and probability.
The Negative Binomial Distribution
This applet allows the user to adjust the value of r and p of the Negative Binomial Distribution with a slider or manual input. The applet allows the user to fix the x and or y axes. The user immediately sees how this affects the shape of the graph.
Exponential Probabilities
The applet in this section allows you see how probabilities are determined from the exponential distribution. The user determines the mean of the distribution and the limits of probability. Three different probability expressions are available.
The T Distribution
This applet allows the user to adjust the degrees of freedom of the T Distribution with a slider or manual input. The applet allows the user to fix the x and or y axes. The user immediately sees how this affects the shape of the graph.
The Weibull Distribution
This applet allows the user to adjust the alpha (rate) and the beta (scale) parameters of the Gamma distribution with a slider or manual input. The user can also indicate a model (density, hazard, or reliability).
Data Analysis
The applet in this section allows for simple data analysis of univariate data. Users can either generate normal or uniform data for k samples or copy and paste data from another source to a text box. A univariate analysis is performed for all k samples.
Correlation
The applets in this section allow you to see how different bivariate data look under different correlation structures. The Movie applet either creates data for a particular correlation or animates a multitude data sets ranging correlations from -1 to 1.
Control Charts
The applets in this section allow you to see how the common Xbar control chart is constructed with known variance. The Xbar chart is constructed by collecting a sample of size n at different times t.
The Central Limit Theorem
The applets in this section of Statistical Java allow you to see how the Central Limit Theorem works. The main page gives the characteristics of five non-normal distributions (Bernoulli, Poisson, Exponential, U-shaped, and Uniform).
