Reflections over the Axes
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are reflected over the x-axis or the y-axis. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reflections-over-the-axes
Special Segments in Triangles
Students will construct and explore medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors of triangles. They then drag the vertices to see where the intersections of the segments lie in relation to the triangle, and they measure distances to identify relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/special-segments-in-triangles_2
