Congruent Triangles
Explore the results when a new triangle is created from an original triangle using the SSS, SAS, and ASA sets of conditions for congruence. In doing so, they will use the Cabri Jr. Compass tool to copy a segment and the Rotation tool to copy an angle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/congruent-triangles_3
Constructing the Diameter of a Circle
Given a circle, students will construct a diameter of the circle. They will use the following theorem: In the same circle, if one chord is a perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-the-diameter-of-a-circle
