Ellipses with center at (h, k)
Students will put the equations of an ellipse with center at (h, k) in standard form. Identify the center, vertices, co-vertices, foci, length of diamter axis, and length of the minor diameter. They will graph the ellipses.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ellipses-with-center-at-h-k
Introducing Families of Functions
Students will be able to identify important characteristics of specific function families. This activity focuses on linear and quadratic functions, but can be easily adapted to work with any family.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/introducing-families-of-functions
Arc length and Area of Sectors
This is an introduction to finding the arc length and area of sectors of circles. Students should have the formulas for Circumference and Area of circles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/arc-length-and-area-of-sectors
Circles - Angles and Arcs
In this TI-84 family activity, students explore angles constructed in a circle and how their measures are related to the measures of the intercepted arcs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angles-and-arcs
The Discovery of Pi
The Discovery of Pi With Cabri Jr., and hands on materials Students will measure the diameter and circumference of various round objects and compare them to determine pi. They will then perform this acivity again utilizing the Cabri Jr. App on the TI 84 Calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-discovery-of-pi

Is an equilateral triangle a special case of isosceles?
The definition of isosceles triangle can determine whether an equilateral triangle is a special case of an isosceles triangle. Using the Cabri Jr. application, students can get a feel for which definition makes the most sense. Along the way, they get experience with a perpendicular bisector, me...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-an-equilateral-triangle-a-special-case-of-isosceles
Is a square a special case of rectangle?
The definition of square can determine whether it is a special case of a rectangle. Using the Cabri Jr. application, students can get a feel for why its definition makes sense. Along the way, they get experience with perpendiculars, parallels, measuring lengths, and an informal look at the inte...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-a-square-a-special-case-of-rectangle
