Putting limits on Pi
This activity has the students calculate the perimeter of inscribed and circumscribed regular polygons about a circle and then use the calculated values to determine pi.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/putting-limits-on-pi
Triangle Midsegment Exploration
The activity has the students investigate the relationship of the midsegment to the third side of the triangle. In addition the students investigate the area of the smaller triangles compared to the larger one and uses the results to solve the "campground" problem. There is a set of follow-up q...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-midsegment-exploration

Investigate the relationships between a triangle and the similar triangle formed by one of the triangle's midsegments.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-midsegments
Derivative Function
Transition from thinking of the derivative at a point to thinking of the derivative as a function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/derivative-function
Transformers
Students explore a special subset of the transformations of a square called the symmetry group.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformers
Patterns in Area - Impact of Changes in Length and Width
Students will explore what happens to the area of a rectangle if you double the length and width.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/patterns-in-area--impact-of-changes-in-length-and-width
Definite Integral

Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions
Students will use the graph of the sine function to estimate the graph of the cosine function. They will do this by inspecting the slope of a tangent to the graph of the sine function at several points and using this information to construct a scatter plot for the derivative of the sine.
