Secrets in the Triangle
Students will use the geometry screens of the TI-Nspire™ to find points of concurrency by constructing the altitudes, perpendicular bisectors, and medians in triangles. The Euler Line will be found and extensions given.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/secrets-in-the-triangle
The sum of the interior angles of regular polygons
The students will construct triangles within regular-sided polygons to determine the sum of the interior angles. They will then, using statistics, create a linear regression to determine the relationship between the number of sides of a regular polygon and the sum of its interior angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-sum-of-the-interior-angles-of-regular-polygons
Similar Figures - Using Ratios to Discover Properties
Students will explore similar triangles and set up ratios to discover properties of similar triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/similar-figures--using-ratios-to-discover-properties
Putting limits on Pi
This activity has the students calculate the perimeter of inscribed and circumscribed regular polygons about a circle and then use the calculated values to determine pi.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/putting-limits-on-pi
Paths of Rectangles
This exploration for preservice teachers, looks at how the lengths of the sides of rectangles with equal areas are related. The rectangles are constructed so that one vertex is at the origin. The path of the opposite vertex is an example of indirect variation and demonstrates a connection between...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/paths-of-rectangles
Transformations: Reflections and Rotations
This activity is designed to be used in a middle-school or high-school geometry classroom. An understanding of labeling points in the coordinate plane is necessary. This is an exploration using reflections to move a polygon about the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations--reflections-and-rotations
Transformations: Rotations
Explore clockwise and counterclockwise rotations to discover the properties of the pre-image and image of a triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-rotations
Parallel Lines and Angles
Students will use TI-Nspire technology to investigate the relationships between two corresponding angles and between two alternate interior angles. At the end of this activity, students should be able to discover that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal the pairs of corresponding angle...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-and-angles
Properties of Parallelograms
Students will manipulate parallelograms to discover the relationships between the sides, angles, and diagonals of parallelograms.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parallelograms_7
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
Proportional Segments
The purpose of this activity is to investigate the relationship between segments formed by drawing a line parallel to one side of a triangle or by drwing and angle bisector of one the angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/proportional-segments
