The Tale of Two Tangents
This activity allows students to investigate the relationship between the angle formed by two tangents to a circle and the arcs they intercept.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-tale-of-two-tangents
Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions
Students will use the graph of the sine function to estimate the graph of the cosine function. They will do this by inspecting the slope of a tangent to the graph of the sine function at several points and using this information to construct a scatter plot for the derivative of the sine. Students...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/derivatives-of-trigonometric-functions

Parallel Lines and the Transversals that Cross Them!
Students will explore the relationships between angles formed by parallel lines crossed by transversals. While there are other activities that may address similar topics, the questions presented to students in this activity bring a fresh perspective to student discovery.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/parallel-lines-and-the-transversals-that-cross-them
Perspective Drawings
In this activity, students will draw figures in one- and two-point perspective, comparing and contrasting the two types of drawings. They then create an isometric drawing and compare it to the other drawings.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perspective-drawings
