Pythagorean Proofs
In this activity, students will explore proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Students will explore the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem using area of squares, area of triangles and trapezoids, and by dissection. Students will then be asked to apply what they have learned about the Pythagorean Theorem.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/pythagorean-proofs_1
Back to the Basics
Students learn and use the basic undefined terms and defined terms of geometry. The activity does include some drawing practice on the handheld.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/back-to-the-basics
Midpoint Quadrilateral
This problem presents an opportunity for students to think about properties of quadrilaterals, and also to work on confirming observations through geometric reasoning. If your state has adopted the Common Core State Standards, this alignment might be helpful: Geometry: Prove Geometric Theorems G....https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/midpoint-quadrilateral
Application of a Circle: Angles and Arcs
Students use the properties of circles, angles, and arcs to help design a courtyard with a star-shaped design.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/application-of-a-circle-angles-and-arcs
Pick's Theorem
Using the TI-Nspire grid screen, students will discover Pick's Theorem relating to the area of a polygon with vertices on grid points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/picks-theorem
Exploring Geometric Sequences
Students explore geometric series by considering the effect of the value for the common ratio and first term using sliders.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-geometric-sequences_1
Coin Toss
Students will run two experiments that simulate pouring out coins from a bag.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/coin-toss_1
Transitions
Students will explore converting rectangular equations to polar form and vice versa. Familiar trigonometric identities and circle relationships are applied in making the conversions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transitions_1
