Inscribing a Circle in a Triangle
In this activity, students bisect the angles of a triangle and find the incenter of the triangle. They find the distance from the incenter to the side of the triangle and use it as radius. With the incenter as the center, they inscribe a circle in a triangle. NCTM Geometry Standard covered: Anal...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inscribing-a-circle-in-a-triangle
Constructing Circles
In this activity, students will investigate the construction of circles that pass through a given number of points. They will also investigate the number of points needed to generate a unique circle in a plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-circles
Constructing the Diameter of a Circle
Given a circle, students will construct a diameter of the circle. They will use the following theorem: In the same circle, if one chord is a perpendicular bisector of another chord, then the first chord is a diameter.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/constructing-the-diameter-of-a-circle

Rational Functions
Students investigate the graphs of functions of the form y = 1/(x - a). They will discover that the graph of such a function has a vertical asymptote at x = a, and a horizontal asymptote at y = 0. They will investigate the graphic and numeric consequences of such asymptotic behavior by observing ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/rational-functions_2
Slope, Midpoint and Distance
The student will interact with a line segment and will report various conditions on a handout. Positive, negative slope, distance, and midpoints will dynamically calculate as the student drags either endpoint around.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/slope-midpoint-and-distance
