Triangles and Slope - Is the Triangle Possible?
Students will construct triangles that match specific criteria. If it is possible to construct the triangle, the students have to construct the triangle and state the slope of each side. If the triangle is impossible to construct, the students must write a detailed explanation as to why it is im...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangles-and-slope--is-the-triangle-possible
Exploring Slope, Including a Study of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
This activity contains 4 problems. The first 2 allow the students to notice relationships of slopes and y-intercepts to the location of lines. The second 2 problems help the students find the relationships between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/activity-with-slope-including-a-study-of-parallel-and-perpendicular-lines
The "Great Pyramid" - Rate of Change
Students will explore different rates of change. Using the TI-Nspire students will be expected to make predictions based upon information that a Pharaoh has given. Students will explore points in a scatter plot of time and height on the building of a pyramid in ancient times. They will calcula...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-great-pyramid--rate-of-change
Slopes with Starburst
Students will use Starburst to conduct an experiment that analyzes slope. The data will be entered into TI-Nspire and evaluated. Students explore concepts such as flat/steeper slopes and constant versus varied slope. Students also simulate distance versus time graphs using meter sticks and hot...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slopes-with-starburst
Birthday Simulation
In this activity, the students will conduct a simulation to predict the probability that two people in a room of thirty will have the same birthday.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/birthday-simulation
Rectangles and Parabolas
Students will tackle a traditional problem from the Algebra I curriculum geometrically, numerically, graphically, and algebraically: Sixty feet of fencing is purchased for the grounds crew to fence off a rectangular portion of property for a garden. The owner has made it perfectly clear that h...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rectangles-and-parabolas
Sums of Sequences
In this activity, students will develop formulas for the sum of arithmetic and geometric sequences. Students will then find the sum of sequences using the formulas developed.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sums-of-sequences_1
Recursive Sequences
In this activity, students will use the sequence mode of the graphing calculator to generate recursive sequences and then examine the values. They will also write recursive sequence formulas for given sequences.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/recursive-sequences_1
Once and For All...Absolutely
The activity is designed to be a lesson in solving absolute value inequalities. The intent is to distinguish the kinds of solutions that absolute value inequalities have and the forms of stating the solutions. More importantly the activity considers two methods of solutions: a graphing method and...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/once-and-for-all---absolutely
Conditional Statements
In this activity, students construct examples of conditional statements such as parallel and perpendicular lines. After completing the conditional statement, they will write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive and determine if each is true.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/conditional-statements
Circle Product Theorems
Students use dynamic models to find patterns. These patterns are the Chord-Chord, Secant-Secant, and Secant-Tangent Theorems.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/circle-product-theorems_1
Midsegments of Triangles
In this activity, students will explore the properties of the midsegment, a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle. First, students will construct and investigate one midsegment and the relationship of the new small triangle to the original triangle. Then, all three midseg...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/midsegments-of-triangles_1
Interior & Exterior Angles of a Triangle
In this activity, students will measure interior and exterior angles of a triangle and make conjectures about their relationships.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/interior--exterior-angles-of-a-triangle
Constructing Similar Triangles
Students investigate three different methods of constructing similar triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-similar-triangles
Points on a Perpendicular Bisector
Students will explore the relationship between a line segment and its perpendicular bisector. The concept of a point that is equidistant from two points is illustrated.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/points-on-a-perpendicular-bisector
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
