Constructing the Diameter of a Circle
Given a circle, students will construct a diameter of the circle. They will use the following theorem: In the same circle, if one chord is a perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-the-diameter-of-a-circle
Circles in the Plane
In this activity, students will use the Cabri™ Jr. application to explore circles in a plane. They will investigate the relationship between the equation of a circle, the length of its radius, and the coordinates of its center.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circles-in-the-plane
NUMB3RS - Season 2 -"Hot Shot" - A Stab in the Dark
In "Hot Shot," two victims of a possible serial criminal are found. Charlie uses kernel density estimation as a method for predicting a change in behavior to indicate a connection between the victims and the criminal.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2-hot-shot--a-stab-in-the-dark
