Using Activity Center, students will submit equations of lines that are parallel, perpendicular, intersecting but not perpendicular or coincident to the given line. Lines from Activity Center appear both on the screen and the graphing calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/placement-of-lines
Constructing the Diameter of a Circle
Given a circle, students will construct a diameter of the circle. They will use the following theorem: In the same circle, if one chord is a perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-the-diameter-of-a-circle
Polynomial Addition, Subtraction
This StudyCards™ stack teaches that, when linear functions are added, the slope of the sum is equal to the sum of the slopes, likewise for y-intercepts. Includes quadratic and up polynomials.
