Side-Side-Angle: The Ambiguous Case
Experiment with segment lengths and angle measures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sidesideangle-the-ambiguous-case
Similar Figures
Observe what happens to ratios of pairs of side of rectangles and triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/similar-figures
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 Inequality Theorem
Given the measures of any three segments, will you always be able to make a triangle?https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-inequality-theorem
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
Transformations With Lists
Students use list operations to perform reflections, rotations, translations and dilations on a figure, and graph the resulting image using a scatter plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-with-lists_1
Perpendicular Bisector
In this activity, students will explore the perpendicular bisector theorem and discover that if a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then the point is equidistant from the endpoints. This is an introductory activity, where students will need to know how to change between pages, ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perpendicular-bisector_1
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. Students...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/derivatives-of-trigonometric-functions
Average Value
Examine areas as integrals and as rectangles for given functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/average-value
A Tale of Two Lines
Demonstrate a visual justification for l'Hôpital's Rule.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-tale-of-two-lines
3D Parametric
In this activity, students will review the concepts of parametric and polar equations. By using the 3D graphing capabilities of the TI-Nspire handheld, students will be able to extend these ideas to the area of solids of revolution, arc length and kinematics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/3d-parametric
