Parallel Lines Cut by a Transversal
Using Activity Center, students can move on a picture of a pair of parallel lines cut by a transversal to answer teacher questions related to the picture. The picture is set up so that it is on the screen of the student calculator as well as the classroom display.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-cut-by-a-transversal
Angle Sum in Triangles Proof using Rotation and a Parallel Line
This investigation uses Cabri Jr. and a cleaver rotation of a triangle to "prove" that the angles in a triangle add up to 180. This could be used to reinforce triangles and paralled lines as well as introduce the concept of rotating an object.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angle-sum-in-triangles-proof-using-rotation-and-a-parallel-line
Angles Formed By Parallel Lines
Students will use Cabri Jr. to construct parallel lines and transversals. They will make conjectures about the angles that are formed.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angles-formed-by-parallel-lines
