Students will draw parallel lines, draw a transversal, and expl...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal_2
Population Mean: σ unknown
Students calculate confidence intervals to estimate the true population mean when the standard deviation of the population is not known.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/population-mean--σ-unknown
Parallel Lines cut by a Transversal with Cabri Jr.
Using Cabri Jr, the students (with the teachers help) will create parallel lines cut by a transversal, measure angles, and compare the relationships of the angles formed using features of the Cabri Jr.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal-with-cabri-jr
Old McDonald's Pigpen
In this activity, students explore – numerically, graphically, algebraically, and verbally – the mathematics involved in maximizing the area of a rectangle with a fixed perimeter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/old-mcdonalds-pigpen
