Properties of Trapezoids and Kites
Students investigate the properties of trapezoids, isosceles trapezoids, and kites by measuring sides and angles in the figures and by constructing and measuring the diagonals of the figures. By dragging vertices of each figure, they can make and test conjectures by seeing which properties hold t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-trapezoids-and-kites
Diagonal Classification
This activity could be used as an assessment after a unit on special quadrilaterals. Students are given an unknown quadrilateral constructed with a given diagonal property. By dragging the vertices of the quadrilateral, students conjecture as to the names of the quadrilaterals that can be constru...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/diagonal-classification
Exploring the Black Box of Quadrilaterals
The exploration will begin with students dragging the quadrilateral given to them about the screen. Initially, they will be asked to simply identify the quadrilateral's type by sight. This will require simply a visual recognition of the quadrilaterals parallelogram, rectangle, square, rhombus, ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-black-box-of-quadrilaterals
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
Pythagorean Triples
Explore Pythagorean triples by dragging vertices to find whole number Pythagorean triples.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pythagorean-triples
The Pythagorean Theorem—and More
Students construct a triangle and find all angle and side measures. They practice dragging the vertices to form certain types of triangles, and then they confirm the Pythagorean Theorem for right triangles. Moreover, they discover the types of triangle that occur when c2 a2 + b2 or when c2 > a2 +...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-pythagorean-theoremand-more
Wrapping Functions
This activity introduces students to various functions of a circular angle. They are shown a unit circle and a point P that can be dragged around the circle. As the point is dragged, different measures are captured, including angle measures, linear distance, and the area of a sector. The activity...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/wrapping-functions
Triangle Inequalities
This activity will help students visualize the properties of triangles stated in the theorems. By dragging the vertices, the students can see that the properties hold regardless of the size of the triangles and which sides are the longest or shortest.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-inequalities_2
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/does-your-euler-line-wiggle
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Toxin" - How Hard Can It Be?
In "Toxin," the FBI tracks a serial poisoner who uses contaminated drugs. In this activity, the FBI intercepted an encrypted message they believe contains a phone number that could lead to an "insider" who may be helping the poisoner. Don suggests using a computer to start trying to break the cod...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--toxin--how-hard-can-it-be
Collecting Pens
Students explore simulation strategies to solve real world problems involving probability and randomness. They use the Monte Carlo procedure to simulate the collecting of six different colored felt-tipped markers from boxes of Kellogg's cereals. They examine and analyze summary statistics and sta...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/collecting-pens
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Rampage" - I...It...Itera...Iteration
In "Rampage," a suspect enters the FBI Bullpen and moves about, apparently shooting people at random. Charlie examines a diagram of the killer's path through the Bullpen and suggests it might resemble Brownian motion. In this activity, students first model this motion with ten iterations by hand...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--rampage--i---it---itera---iteration
Looking for Some Direction - Finding Distance on a Graph
This is a suggestion for how to use Activity Center on TI-Navigator™ to illustrate story problems in which students need to find the distance between two points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/looking-for-some-direction--finding-distance-on-a-graph
How Far Will It Go
Students measure and record the total distance traveled by their individual moustrap racers. Using TI-Navigator the individual data is collected and aggregated. The aggregated class data is then sent to the individual student calculcators and students investigate histograms and box plots.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-far-will-it-go

What Is My Rule?
This activity encourages students to gain experience with the language of the Cartesian coordinate system. Each of the problems shows two points, z and w. Point z can be dragged, and point w moves in response. In describing the rule that governs the location of point w, students will most likely ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-my-rule
