Measure Up!

In this activity, students' create a plot showing the heights of some of their classmates. They determine the extreme values and the median for the height data and construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the height statistics.

Does Your Euler Line "Wiggle"?

The students will construct an Euler line and demonstrate it is an Euler line by "wiggling" the triangle to guarantee the correct centers remain on the line.

Evaluating the Products of Chords of a Circle

In this activity, the students will investigate if two chords intersect in a circle, then the products of the measures of the segments of the chords are equal.

Explore Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Students will use a graphing calculator to explore graphs of parallel and perpendicular lines. Students will find that parallel lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts and that the slopes of two perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. This Technology Lab accompa...

You're Probably Right, It's Wrong - TI-83

In this activity, students perform a simulation to guess answers on a test and determine the experimental probability of passing the test. They then compare it with the theoretical probability.

Survey Project

Students survey other students (numerical and non numerical data) and calculate measures of central tendency (if possible) of data and make regular box-an-whisker plots and outlier box-and-whisker plots to analyze the data.

Exploring the Orthocenter of a Triangle

In this activity, students use the Cabri™ Jr. tools to draw altitudes in a triangle. They construct a line perpendicular to a given line and through a given point. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathemat...

Using Vases to Help Understand What Graphs Mean

Students will predict what the graph will look like for different vases as they are filled with water. Then students will use the vases of different shapes and fill them with a set amount of water before each measurement. Students then measure the height of the water in the vase (their y-interc...

The Letter Product Game

This activity will encourage students' powers of deduction through a word game. This will allow a review of factoring integers. A simple extension allows a classroom discussion that will evolve into the Zero Product Theorem, essential to the technique of solving polynomial equations by factoring.

Investigate Perpendicular Bisector

Student activity: Discover that any point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/investigate-perpendicular-bisector

House

Students use the Cabri Geometry™ II Plus software to invert, rotate and dilate a figure.

Incenter of a Triangle

In this activity, students observe a special characteristic of the bisectors of the angles in a triangle. They test their conjecture by changing the size and shape of the triangle. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Analyze characteristics and properties of 2- and 3-dimensional geometric shapes and ...

Modeling Exponential Decay with a Look at Asymptotes

In this activity, students approximate exponential decay models by defining parameters A and B in the exponential equation y = abx. They identify non-zero asymptote form of an exponential function.

Midpoint Formula Discovery

Step by step instructions are given for the students to draw a segment, find the midpoint, and label the coordinates of the two endpoints and the midpoint. The students then record the data in a table for various segments. Based on the table students will discover how to find the midpoint of a se...
