Is an equilateral triangle a special case of isosceles?

The definition of isosceles triangle can determine whether an equilateral triangle is a special case of an isosceles triangle. Using the Cabri Jr. application, students can get a feel for which definition makes the most sense. Along the way, they get experience with a perpendicular bisector, me...

Percentiles - IB

The goal of this activity is for students to use the area to the left of a value in a normal distribution to find its percentile. The process will then be reversed to find the value for a given percentile. In doing so, students will learn how to use the Normal CDF and Inverse Normal commands on t...

Perpendicular Bisector Theorem

This activity uses distance measures to investigate the relationship between a point in the plane and the distance to the endpoints of a segment. Students will investigate the implication these relationships have for the position of the point in the plane.

Transforming "F" on the coordinate plane

Students move their cursor in activity center to occupy a unique point on a background letter "F" in quadrant 1. Students then together follow a rule for going to a different point (such as "use the opposite of the original x coordinate") and sketch the resulting transformation on their worksheet...
