Mapping Success
In this activity, students will load a background image of a map and use the scale on the map to estimate distances.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mapping-success
Testing for Truth
Students identify whether points lie within a shaded region that is bounded by linear inequalities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/testing-for-truth
Probability
Activity will prompt user for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of a starting point that lives in QuadranI. In other words, one must enter a value, for each, between 0 and 1, say 0.2 for x and 0.5 for y.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability
REAL LIFE REAL WORLD Activity: Air Traffic Control
In this lesson, students will model and solve air traffic control problems with geometry software.
