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 provide 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:

About the TI
Two-Line Display
The first line (entry line) displays an entry of up to 88 digits (47 digits for the stat and constant entry lines). Entries begin on the left; those with more than 11 digits scroll to the right. Press ! and " to scroll the entry line. Press % ! or % " to move the cursor immediately to the beginning or end of the entry.
The second line (result line) displays a result of up to 10 digits, plus a decimal point, negative sign, negative exponent. Results that exceed the digit limit are displayed in scientific notation.
Display Indicators
Refer to Appendix B for a list of the display indicators.
Order of Operations
The TI-30X ÙS uses the Equation Operating System (EOSTM) to evaluate expressions. The operation priorities are listed on the transparency master in Chapter 4, Order of Operations and Parentheses (page 41).
Because operations inside parentheses are performed first, you can use D E to change the order of operations and, therefore, change the result.

What’s My Score? — 1-Variable Statistics
Overview
Students use the given test scores to find averages.
Introduction
Discuss finding averages with your students.
Activity
Present the following problem to students:
You and your friend are having a contest. The one who gets the highest average on their math tests for one quarter wins. Your scores are 98, 89, 78, 98, and 100. Your friend’s scores are 89, 89, 97, 90, and 100. Who is the winner?
Procedure
1. Have students find the average of their scores using the TI-30X ÖS. Remember to enter 2 as the frequency for 98 and 1 for all others.

Heart Rates — 1-Variable Statistics
Overview
Students use the statistics functions of the TI-30X ÙS 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 rate 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 ÚS.
a. Enter the first heart rate on the chart as the
X
first
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

2. Press heart rates and frequencies.

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:
. Time your pulse for 1 minute.

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.
9.
Instruct students to make a histogram of the 3 sets of data they collected. Ask students:
How are the histograms the same?
•
How are they different?
•
Is the data grouped the same, or is it more
