Discovering the Circumcenter and Centroid of a Triangle

The students will find the circumcenter by constructing perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle. They will also find the centroid by constructing the medians of a triangle and discover that the centroid is 2/3 of the distance from each vertex along each median.

Exploring Circle Equations

Students explore the equation of a circle. They will make the connection with the coordinates of the center of the circle and length of the radius to the corresponding parts of the equation. Then, students apply what they have learned to find the equation of the circles in several circular designs.

Limits

Students will investigate finding the value of limits using graphical and numerical methods. Students will also learn that a limit can exist at points where there is a hole or removable discontinuity. The concept of left and right-sided limits will also be explored as well as some situations in w...

Circle Geometry: Property of the Segments of Two Chords Intersecting within a Circle

Students will be able to discover the property of two chords segments intersecting within a circle. They will discover the rule about the segments geometrically, numerically, and graphically. Lesson will touch on line of best fit to explore the relationship between the segments of the two chords.

Classifying Quadrialterals

In this activity, students will classify quadrilaterals graphed on the Cartesian coordinate plane. Students will justify their classifications with segment and angle measurements as well as slope measurements. A review of the hierarchy of quadrilaterals is at the beginning of the document.

Angles in Polygons

In this activity, students measure interior angles in convex polygons and find the sum of the angle measures. They make and test a conjecture about the sum of the angle measures in an n-sided polygon. Finally, they measure exterior angles in convex polygons, find their sum, and write a proof for ...

Angle Relationships

In this activity, students explore the angle relationships that exist when two lines intersect. They begin by exploring vertical angles and linear pairs, and then expand their study to two lines and a transversal. They will see what relationships hold true when the two lines intersected by a tran...

Triangle Sides & Angles

Students will explore side and angle relationships in a triangle. First, students will discover where the longest (and shortest) side is located relative to the largest (and smallest) angle. Then, students will explore the Isosceles Triangle Theorem and its converse. Finally, students will determ...

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 +...

Supertall Skyscrapers

In this activity, students use their handhelds to measure scale drawings of famous “supertall” skyscrapers. They first check that the Sears Tower is drawn to scale and then use their measurements to calculate that scale. Next, they write and solve proportions to find the heights of other skyscrap...
