Sin, Cos, and Tan of Right Triangles
In this activity, students explore a right angled triangle and its trigonometric concepts. They investigate the trigonometric ratios for the angles of the triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sin-cos-and-tan-of-right-triangles
Explore Transformations with Matrices
Students will use a graphing calculator to explore transformations with matrices. They will analyze how each element of the matrix affects the position of the image. This Technology Lab accompanies Lesson 12-3 from the ©2007 Holt, Rinehart and Winston Geometry textbook.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/explore-transformations-with-matrices
Exploring Quadratic Data
Students will analyze the vertex form of a parabola and find an approximate fit of a model. They will study the quadratic function (parabola) and its properties by developing quadratic models. They also use translation and dilation to change the general parabola.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-quadratic-data
