The Letter Product Game
This activity will encourage students' powers of deduction through a word game. This will allow a review of factoring integers. A simple extension allows a classroom discussion that will evolve into the Zero Product Theorem, essential to the technique of solving polynomial equations by factoring.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-letter-product-game
Investigating Angle Bisectors
Students will determine that any poin on the angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigating-angle-bisectors
The Golden Ratio
The students will engage in a hands on activity to determine how they fit into the golden ratio which is considered the mathematically perfect ratio. Is it necessary or important to relate to this number?https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-golden-ratio
