The Pythagorean Theorem—and More
Students construct a triangle and find all angle and side measures. They practice dragging the vertices to form certain types of triangles, and then they confirm the Pythagorean Theorem for right triangles. Moreover, they discover the types of triangle that occur when c2 a2 + b2 or when c2 > a2 +...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-pythagorean-theoremand-more
Ratios of Similar Figures
Students explore the ratio of perimeter, area, surface area, and volume of similar figures in two and three dimensional figures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ratios-of-similar-figures_1
Sine. It's the Law.
Students will investigate the ratio of the sine of an angle to the length of the opposite side.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sine--its-the-law_1
Special Segments in Triangles
In this activity, students construct 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. They see that the i...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/special-segments-in-triangles_1

Long Run
This lesson involves investigating simulations used to observe long-run relative frequencies.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/long-run
Supertall Skyscrapers
In this activity, students use their handhelds to measure scale drawings of famous “supertall” skyscrapers. They first check that the Sears Tower is drawn to scale and then use their measurements to calculate that scale. Next, they write and solve proportions to find the heights of other skyscrap...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/supertall-skyscrapers
How Does a Spring Scale Work?
