Match Me!
In this activity, students move in a specific way in front of the motion detector to create motion plots that match a given Distance versus Time plot. They make connections between types of movements and characteristics of Distance-Time graphs. They learn to change the shape of the plot by adjust...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/match-me
Ratios of Right Triangles
In this activity, students will explore the ratios of right triangles. Students will discover that they can find the measure of the angles of a right triangle given the length of any two sides.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ratios-of-right-triangles_1
Exploring Circle Equations
Students explore the equation of a circle by connecting the coordinates of the center of the circle and the length of the radius to the corresponding parts of the equation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-circle-equations
Properties of Parallelograms - 1
Students explore the various properties of parallelograms and the necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parallelograms_1
