The Tangent Ratio

In this activity students explore the tangent ratio. Students construct a right triangle using perpendicular lines, and a line that forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. When students construct the hypotenuse line it is very important that the second point that forms the line is not on the perpen...

Measure Up!

In this activity, students' create a plot showing the heights of some of their classmates. They determine the extreme values and the median for the height data and construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the height statistics.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Assassin" - The Escape Game

In "Assassin," Charlie is trying to figure out where a killer might strike given that he knows who the victim will be. By analyzing the movements of the would-be victim, Charlie models the decisions that the assassin will make. This is an example of behavioral game theory, where the motives of tw...

Dynamic Geometry: Program Basics

Students use the Cabri™ Jr. application to draw triangles and explore properties of perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of different types of the triangles. They study the measures of angles of a triangle and understand that the sum of the measures of angles of a triangle is always 180 deg...

Evaluating the Products of Chords of a Circle

In this activity, the students will investigate if two chords intersect in a circle, then the products of the measures of the segments of the chords are equal.

Special Midpoint Quadrilaterals

Midpoint Quadrilaterals are quadrilaterals that are formed when consecutive midpoints of a quadrilateral are connected. This activity will use Cabri® Jr. to investigate what properties an exterior quadrilateral has if its midpoint quarilateral has some special properties of its own.

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Finders Keepers" - The Leaf Drops

In "Finders Keepers," a world-class racing yacht sinks in the ocean. The NSA has the exact location where its homing beacon shut down and assumes that is where the ship sank. The NSA is stumped when they cannot find the yacht at this location because they assumed the boat sank directly to the bot...

Explore Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Students will use a graphing calculator to explore graphs of parallel and perpendicular lines. Students will find that parallel lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts and that the slopes of two perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. This Technology Lab accompa...

NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Killer Chat" - Stylometry

In "Killer Chat," the FBI has obtained a collection of online chat dialogues from a suspected killer. Charlie proposes he use Statistical Linguistic Analysis to identify the author. The style and language can essentially fingerprint the writing. Stylometry, the practice of applying statistical an...
