Triangle Midsegment Exploration
The activity has the students investigate the relationship of the midsegment to the third side of the triangle. In addition the students investigate the area of the smaller triangles compared to the larger one and uses the results to solve the "campground" problem. There is a set of follow-up q...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-midsegment-exploration
Properties of Quadrilaterals
The students will investigate the properties of a parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, square, kite, trapezoid, and isosceles trapezoid by using the measurement tools of the TI-Npsire. The students will record their results on the chart. The time for the activity will vary based on the ability of...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-quadrilaterals
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discovering-the-circumcenter-and-centroid-of-a-triangle
Balancing Act
Students will explore the centriod of a triangle. They will discover that it is the center of gravity. They will balance a cardboard triangle on the end of a pencil. Then they will construct the medians with folds and pencil. After students have seen that the center of gravity is the point ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/balancing-act
Angle and Perpendicular Bisectors in a Triangle
The students will examine where the perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors of a triangle intersect. The students will circumscribe a circle around the triangle and will inscribe a circle within the triangle. There is a page at the end of each activity with the circle constructed if the s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angle-and-perpendicular-bisectors-in-a-triangle
SSA Ambiguity
This activity allows students to investigate the reason for the ambiguity in the SSA case.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ssa-ambiguity
The Filly Zoo
During this activity, students are charged with the task of designing the shapes of the habitats of the animals that inhibit the Filly Zoo. The students are asked to use their TI-Nspire calculators to create geometric shapes, measure the dimensions of the shapes, and make informed decisions abou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-filly-zoo
Cardioid Patterns - Discover Using Graphs
This activity will give students an opportunity to discover a pattern in the graphs of cardioids.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cardioid-patterns--discover-using-graphs
Big Data Sets - Median income
Using the data in the TNS file on Median Income, students can explore trends of workers aged 15 and over across gender, race, occupation, and education and by state as of 2020.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-data-sets@-median-income
Modeling Herd Immunity
In this activity, students investigate the concept of herd immunity and the role vaccines/interventions can play in helping to control the spread of a communicable disease.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-herd-immunity
Cybersecurity 7- Pick the Lock
This bonus activity challenges students to put all the concepts they’ve learned together in order to successfully pick a micro:bit lock. Will your students be able to discover what’s locked away inside the old treasure chest?https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cybersecurity-7
Energetic Coasters
In this lesson, students will explore the potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) of a roller coaster.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/energetic-coasters
Matholutions Activity

The Matholutions Bulletin Board Décor is a companion piece to this activity.--> Empower students to reflect and set their ow...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/matholutions-activity
Parallel and Perpendicular Slopes
This activity is for use as a formative assessment tool after the introduction and overview of parallel and perpendicular slopes.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-and-perpendicular-slopes
Approaching the Golden Ratio
Students will observe that the ratio of consecutive terms in all Fibonacci-like sequences approaches the Golden Ratio.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/approaching-the-golden-ratio
Mapping Success
In this activity, students will load a background image of a map and use the scale on the map to estimate distances.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/mapping-success
Modeling Herd Immunity
In this TI-84 activity, students investigate the concept of herd immunity and the role vaccines/interventions can play in helping to control the spread of a communicable disease.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/modeling-herd-immunity_84
Using the Distance Formula to find Trapezoidal Area
This activity can be used as a formative assessment review of algebra and coordinate geometryhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-the-distance-formula-to-find-trapezoidal-area
Law of Large Numbers: Equal Opportunities
In this activity, students will use the Probability Simulation application to roll a fair die and explore the Law of Large Numbers. They will conduct probability experiments that involve tossing a fair die, graph the results, compare the experimental probability to its theoretical probability and...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/law-of-large-numbers-equal-opportunities
Law of Large Numbers: A Weighty Decision
In this activity, students will explore the Law of Large Numbers. By examining unfair models, they will expand their understanding of probability. They predict the weighting of an unfair model by analyzing experimental data and distributions. They will also formulate and test a hypothesis on the ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/law-of-large-numbers-a-weighty-decision
