Expanding -- Using CAS
This is a group work activity that allows students to use the CAS capabilities of the TI-Nspire to explore patterns emerging from the product of two binomials.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/expanding--using-cas
Infinite Geometric Series
Students explore infinite geometric series. They will consider the effect of the value for the common ratio and determine whether an infinite geometric series converges or diverges.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/infinite-geometric-series
Triangle Midsegment Exploration
The activity has the students investigate the relationship of the midsegment to the third side of the triangle. In addition the students investigate the area of the smaller triangles compared to the larger one and uses the results to solve the "campground" problem. There is a set of follow-up q...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-midsegment-exploration
Determining Angle Measure
Determine the measure of an angle and if larger angles have longer "sides."https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/determining-angle-measure
Triangle Sides & Angles
Students will explore side and angle relationships in a triangle. First, students will discover where the longest (and shortest) side is located relative to the largest (and smallest) angle. Then, students will explore the Isosceles Triangle Theorem and its converse. Finally, students will determ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-sides--angles
