Shortest Distances
Students will explore three situations involving distances between points and lines. First, the minimum distance between two points leads to the Triangle Inequality Theorem. Then, the shortest distance from a point to a line is investigated. Finally, students find the smallest total distan...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shortest-distances
Proving the Pythagorean Theorem - President Garfield's Proof
This is the same proof that is found on the TI-Exchange website for the 84 plus, but I modified it for the Nspire handhelds.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/proving-the-pythagorean-theorem--president-garfields-proof
Proving Angles Congruent
In this activity students will be introduced to proofs, including 2-column proofs, paragraph proofs and flow-proofs. They will also look at different diagrams to decide what the diagram is telling them and what they can infere. They will also look at complementary, supplementary, adjacent and v...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/proving-angles-congruent_1
