Trig Patterns
In this activity, students will use the unit circle to examine patterns in the six trigonometric functions. Students will compare angles created with the x-axis in all four quadrants and discuss with one another what is happening at each coordinate as they move the point around the circle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trig-patterns-@ns
Trigonometric Patterns
Students will use the unit circle to examine patterns in the six trigonometric functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trigonometric-patterns
Recursive Sequences
In this activity, students will use the sequence mode of the graphing calculator to generate recursive sequences and then examine the values. They will also write recursive sequence formulas for given sequences.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recursive-sequences_1
Area of the Missing Square
In this activity, students will be introduced to an area model for representing a quadratic equation. Students will explore the relationship between the value of b and c, in y = x2 + bx + c, form of the quadratic equation. The relationship will be examined with integer and non-integer values in o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-of-the-missing-square_1
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
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
NASA - An Astronaut in Motion

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
Basic Trig Transformations- 84
In this activity, students will use the Transformation Application to change the values of parameters in trigonometric functions and to determine the effect that each change has on the shape of the graph. Students will then use this knowledge to write equations for sine and cosine functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/basic-trig-transformations_84
