About the Teacher Guide
How the Teacher Guide is Organized
This guide consists of two sections: Activities and How to Use the TI-30X ÙS. The Activities section is a collection of activities for integrating the TI-30X ÙS into mathematics instruction. The How To Use the TI-30X ÙS section is designed to help you teach students how to use the calculator.
Activities
The activities are designed to be teacher­directed. They are intended to help develop mathematical concepts while incorporating the TI-30X ÙS as a teaching tool. Each activity is self-contained and includes the following:
An overview of the mathematical purpose
of the activity. The mathematical concepts being
developed. The materials needed to perform the
activity.
Things to Keep in Mind
While many of the examples on the
transparency masters may be used to develop mathematical concepts, they were not designed specifically for that purpose.
For maximum flexibility, each example and
activity is independent of the others. Select the transparency master appropriate for the key you are teaching, or select the activity appropriate for the mathematical concept you are teaching.
If an example does not seem appropriate
for your curriculum or grade level, use it to teach the function of a key (or keys), and then provide relevant examples of your own.
To ensure that everyone starts at the
same point, have students reset the calculator by pressing & and simultaneously or by pressing % and then selecting Y (yes).
­
The detailed procedure, including step-by-
step TI-30X ÙS key presses. A student activity sheet.
How to Use the TI-30X ÚS
This section contains examples on transparency masters. Chapters are numbered and include the following.
An introductory page describing the
calculator keys presented in the example, the location of those keys on the TI-30X ÙS, and any pertinent notes about their functions.
Transparency masters following the
introductory page and providing examples of practical applications of the key(s) being discussed. The key(s) being discussed are circled on the TI-30X ÙS keyboard.
Conventions Used in the Teacher Guide
In the text, brackets [ ] around a key’s
symbol/name indicate that the key is a second, or alternate, function.
For example: On the transparency masters, second
functions are shown just as they appear on the keyboard.
For example:

Students use the statistics functions of the TI-30XÙS calculator to investigate the effect of exercise on heart rate.
Introduction
Students may be placed in smaller groups for this activity to minimize the amount of data to be entered. Ask students:
What do you think the average heart rate is for someone your age?
What about after exercising?
Activity
Have students complete the following investigation to check their estimations.
Math Concepts
• mean, minimum, maximum, and range
Materials
• TI-30X ÙS
• stopwatch or a watch with a second hand
• student activity
1. Have students check their resting heart rates by timing their pulse for 1 minute. (You could have them time for 10 seconds and then multiply by 6, but this could be the quietest minute of your day!)
2. Collect data on the chart. Enter each students heart rate and a mark in the frequency column. As other students have the same heart rate, add another tally mark in the frequency column.
3. Enter the heart rate data into the TI-30X ÙS.
a. Enter the first heart rate on the chart as the
first
X
value, and the number of tallies for
that heart rate as the frequency.
b. You must press $ between entries. For
example, enter the first heart rate, and then press $. Enter the first frequency, and then press $.
For example, assume a class of 22 students:
Rate Students Rate Students
60 3 63 3 61 5 64 1 62 6 65 4
³ 1. Press % t <.
2. Press v to enter the heart rates and frequencies.
X1=
3. Enter first heart rate and press $.
FRQ=
4. Continue entering until you have entered all the heart rates and frequencies.

4. Check the statistics calculations. After students display
Òx
(Sigma x), explain that
is the sum of all the heart rates. Ask students:
How many heartbeats were there in one minute?
Is the average heart rate higher or lower than you expected?
5. Now we will see the effect of some exercise on heart rate. Tell students:
If at any point during this portion of the activity you experience pain, weakness, or shortness of breath, stop immediately.
6. Have the students run in place for 2 minutes and then give them these instructions:
a. Time your pulse for 1 minute. b. Record your heart rate as before. c. Enter the data into the calculator. d. Compare the average heart rate after
running with the resting heart rate.

Note: The numbers show the results of the example described above. Your students’ results will vary depending on the size of group and the heart rate readings.
7. Now have the students do jumping jacks for 2 minutes. Instruct them to time their pulse for 1 minute again and record as before. Have them enter the data into the calculator again and calculate the average heart rate after jumping jacks. Compare to the other 2 averages.
8 How fit is the class? If the class (or individual)
heart rate after jumping jacks is less than 90, then you are in great shape. If it is higher than 125, then you are in poor shape.
Instruct students to make a histogram of the 3

How are they different?
Is the data grouped the same or is it more spread out in one graph compared to another?

WNBA Stats — 2-Variable Statistics
Overview
Students use WNBA statistics to explore the relationship between 2 variables. They use the TI-30X ÙS to compute the regression equation and evaluate some values.
Activity
Present the following problem to students:
Do you think WNBA (Womens National Basketball Association) playing time (in minutes per game) is related to how many points a player scores? Do you think it is related to how many rebounds a player gets? Or is it related to the players field-goal percentage?

You may want to fix the decimal to 2 places before doing the statistical calculations.
Ask students:
What is the average points scored for the players shown?
What is the average playing time?
What is the total number of points scored per game for all the given players?
You may want to discuss the other statistical variables and what they mean.
