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
Exploring the Geometric Means of a Right Triangle - When the Altitude to the Hypotenuse Is Drawn
Students will explore the concept of geometric mean and solve right triangle problems using geometric mean proportions. A TI-Nspire activity demonstrates interactively the geometric mean relationship, and an activity sheet applies the relationship to solve triangle problem. Most discussions of g...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-the-geometric-means-of-a-right-triangle--when-the-altitude-to-the-hypotenuse-is-drawn
The Lunes of Hippocrates
In this activity, students will explore a figure that involves lunes - the area enclosed between arcs of intersecting circles. When lunes are constructed on the sides of a right triangle, an interesting result occurs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-lunes-of-hippocrates_1
Soda Problem: Finding the relationship between Sodium and Sugar
