NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "The O.G." - Is It Really Rare?

Fractions to Decimal Form
This program and activity sheets allow teachers and students to explore both terminated and repeating decimal forms of any fraction (within limits). This version 1.0 allows for one conversion but can be rerun indefinitely.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fractions-to-decimal-form
Isosceles Triangle
In this activity, students construct isosceles and equilateral triangles. They discover that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite them are congruent. They understand that an equilateral triangle is also equiangular.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/isosceles-triangle
Dilations in the Plane
A dilation is a transformation that produces a figure with a different size from that of the original figure. In this activity, you will explore the properties of dilations and the relationships between the original and image figures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dilations-in-the-plane
Dilations in the Plane (Transformations)
