The graphs are modeled with quadratic functions and transformations of quadratic functions can...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/making-hay-while-the-sun-shines--not-losing-it-in-the-rain--the-geometry-of-the-big-round-bale
Maximizing a Paper Cone's Volume
The net for a conical paper cup is formed by cutting a sector from a circular piece of paper. What sector angle creates a net that maximizes the cone's volume? In this activity students will build concrete models, measure the dimensions and calculate the volume. Next, students will use a const...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/maximizing-a-paper-cones-volume
Mystery Quadrilateral!
This activity could be used as an assessment after a unit on special quadrilaterals. Students are given an unknown mystery quadrilateral that looks like a square. By dragging the vertices of the mystery quadrilateral, students conjecture the true name of the quadrilateral. Students support their ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mystery-quadrilateral
Angle and Perpendicular Bisectors in a Triangle
The students will examine where the perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors of a triangle intersect. The students will circumscribe a circle around the triangle and will inscribe a circle within the triangle. There is a page at the end of each activity with the circle constructed if the s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angle-and-perpendicular-bisectors-in-a-triangle
The Lunes of Hippocrates
In this activity, students will explore a figure that involves lunes - the area enclosed between arcs of intersecting circles. When lunes are constructed on the sides of a right triangle, an interesting result occurs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-lunes-of-hippocrates_1
Mystery Point!
Students will discover the nature of the 'Mystery Point' in a triangle. The Mystery Point is a triangle center, constructed through algebraic and vector means, so students can not "un-hide" the construction to discover the center. The students will have to test various center constructions to dis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mystery-point
Geometry: Exploring Quadrilaterals
Drag the verices of a quadrilateral and build the different types; focus on the properties of these different figures, and finally put it all together to identify different quadrilaterals from their properties.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/geometry-exploring-quadrilaterals
Texas Chase Activity
In this activity, students will look at g-forces and predicting the Sprint Cup champion using trend lines.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/texas-chase-activity
Polythagoras
This activity explores (a) relationships among non-square regular polygons constructed on the sides of a right triangle and (b) visual and numerical proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem using rotations and non-square polygons.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polythagoras
NASA - Robonaut 2: First Humanoid Robot in Space
NASA uses robots in many ways to help with space exploration. When it’s possible for robots to perform tasks, rather than people, there are some obvious advantages. Robots do not have to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep. They can perform tasks over and over in exactly the same way without gett...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--robonaut-2-first-humanoid-robot-in-space
Computing with Mathematical Formulas
