Cabri Jr. activity to study the properties of parallel lines.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parallel-lines-with-cabri-jr
Polygon Area
Students will compare areas of different polygons with a fixed perimeter and find the shape that gives the maximum areahttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/polygon-area
Trig Ratios - Exploring Sine, Cosine and Tangent
Using the Cabri Jr. App and the 83+/84+ calculators, student will explore and calculate the various trig ratios. This is an easy construction that and allow plenty of time of exploration and completion of the worksheet questions in class.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/trig-ratios--exploring-sine-cosine-and-tangent
Probability Simulations
In this activity, students use the random integer (randInt) command to simulate probability experiments. They also graph the number of trials and corresponding probabilities to observe the Law of Large Numbers. Simulated experiments involve tossing a coin, spinning a spinner, and observing the se...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-simulations
Plinko - Frequency Plots and Experimental Probability
In this activity, students simulate the Plinko game from the TV show "The Price Is Right", then use Navigator to share their results for the class. A frequency plot of class results is constructed, and conjectures made as to the experimental probability of winning the big money in this game.
