| Description: | Using the graphing handheld, students will create a graph of all possible combinations of $1 bills and $20 bills that could be used to make a total of $130 million. The activity provides students the opportunity to create a scatter plot of various combinations of U.S. currency and then generate an equation to represent the data. Given the large amounts of money and bills used to create the scatter plot, students will have opportunities to work with scientific notation. This activity also provides an excellent example of discrete, realworld data. The following Math TODAY resources are available as a PDF download: The activity is designed for use with the TI-73, TI-73 ExplorerTM, TI-83 Plus and TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, TI-84, TI-84 Plus. |
