Shortest Distance
Students will discover, through exploration, that the shortest distance from a point on a line to the origin is a measure of a perpendicular line segment. You will investigate this minimization problem and support the analytical explanations with interactive explorations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shortest-distance
The sum of the interior angles of regular polygons
The students will construct triangles within regular-sided polygons to determine the sum of the interior angles. They will then, using statistics, create a linear regression to determine the relationship between the number of sides of a regular polygon and the sum of its interior angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-sum-of-the-interior-angles-of-regular-polygons
Parallel Lines and Angles
Students will use TI-Nspire technology to investigate the relationships between two corresponding angles and between two alternate interior angles.
