Slopes with Starburst
Students will use Starburst to conduct an experiment that analyzes slope. The data will be entered into TI-Nspire and evaluated. Students explore concepts such as flat/steeper slopes and constant versus varied slope. Students also simulate distance versus time graphs using meter sticks and hot...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slopes-with-starburst
Slope, Midpoint and Distance
The student will interact with a line segment and will report various conditions on a handout. Positive, negative slope, distance, and midpoints will dynamically calculate as the student drags either endpoint around.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slope-midpoint-and-distance

Here's Looking At Euclid
Students first use the familiar prime factorization method to calculate the GCD and LCM of two numbers. Second, they apply Euclid’s algorithm, an iterative process for finding the GCD, in conjunction with a formula for the LCM given the GCD. In order to use the algorithm, they must first grasp th...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/heres-looking-at-euclid
Introduction to Absolute Value
In this activity students will explore the definition of absolute value using a number line, plot points to graph y = |x|, and use sliders to perform transformations with absolute value functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introduction-to-absolute-value

Circle Product Theorems
Students use dynamic models to find patterns. These patterns are the Chord-Chord, Secant-Secant, and Secant-Tangent Theorems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circle-product-theorems_1
Midsegments of Triangles
In this activity, students will explore the properties of the midsegment, a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle. First, students will construct and investigate one midsegment and the relationship of the new small triangle to the original triangle. Then, all three midseg...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/midsegments-of-triangles_1
Interior & Exterior Angles of a Triangle
In this activity, students will measure interior and exterior angles of a triangle and make conjectures about their relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/interior--exterior-angles-of-a-triangle
Constructing Similar Triangles
Students investigate three different methods of constructing similar triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-similar-triangles
Back to the Basics
Students learn and use the basic undefined terms and defined terms of geometry. The activity does include some drawing practice on the handheld.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/back-to-the-basics
Application of a Circle: Angles and Arcs
Students use the properties of circles, angles, and arcs to help design a courtyard with a star-shaped design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/application-of-a-circle-angles-and-arcs
