Peer reviewedMcMullin, Lin – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Uses vectors and programming with graphing calculators to analyze a ride in an amusement park (the "Scrambler") that has three long arms that revolve horizontally around a central post, at the end of which hang seats revolving in circles. (ASK)
Descriptors: Graphing Calculators, High Schools, Mathematics Activities, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedGraham, Alan – Teaching Statistics, 1994
Presents ideas for purposeful statistical investigations based on data from "TV Guide" that involve simulations using a spreadsheet. (MKR)
Descriptors: Data Collection, Learning Activities, Mathematics Education, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedStover, Donald W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1994
Graphs equations in two variables using a BASIC screen-sweep program that generates solutions to equations by applying the intermediate value theorem. Provides suggestions for investigations that result in graphs of a butterfly, the Cheshire cat, the Trisectrix of Catalna, E. T. waving goodbye, a praying mantis, and others. (MDH)
