Segment Addition Postulate
The purpose of this handout is to provide students an opportunity to learn the keystrokes involved using the TI-Nspire and to verify the Segment Addition Postulate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/segment-addition-postulate
Continuity and Differentiability 2
Explore piecewise graphs and determine conditions for continuity and differentiability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/continuity-and-differentiability-2
The sum of the interior angles of regular polygons
The students will construct triangles within regular-sided polygons to determine the sum of the interior angles. They will then, using statistics, create a linear regression to determine the relationship between the number of sides of a regular polygon and the sum of its interior angles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-sum-of-the-interior-angles-of-regular-polygons
Concavity
Examine the relationship between the first and second derivative and shape of a function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/concavity
Similar Figures
Observe what happens to ratios of pairs of side of rectangles and triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/similar-figures
Putting limits on Pi
This activity has the students calculate the perimeter of inscribed and circumscribed regular polygons about a circle and then use the calculated values to determine pi.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/putting-limits-on-pi
Triangle Inequality Theorem
Given the measures of any three segments, will you always be able to make a triangle?https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-inequality-theorem
Derivative Grapher
Visualize the relationship between the graph of a function and the graph of its derivative function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/derivative-grapher
Triangle Midsegments
Investigate the relationships between a triangle and the similar triangle formed by one of the triangle's midsegments.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-midsegments
Derivative Function
Transition from thinking of the derivative at a point to thinking of the derivative as a function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/derivative-function
Transformers
Students explore a special subset of the transformations of a square called the symmetry group.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformers
Transformations With Lists
Students use list operations to perform reflections, rotations, translations and dilations on a figure, and graph the resulting image using a scatter plot.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-with-lists_1
Definite Integral
Make visual connections between the definite integral of a function and the signed area between the function and the x-axis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/definite-integral
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.

Average Value
Examine areas as integrals and as rectangles for given functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/average-value
A Tale of Two Lines
Demonstrate a visual justification for l'Hôpital's Rule.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/a-tale-of-two-lines
Transformational Puppet
This activity allows students to practice their skills of reflecting on a line and translating on a vector. The instructions don't ask for creativity but students who finish early can enjoy being creative with this activity.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformational-puppet
Transformations: Reflections and Rotations
This activity is designed to be used in a middle-school or high-school geometry classroom. An understanding of labeling points in the coordinate plane is necessary. This is an exploration using reflections to move a polygon about the coordinate plane.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations--reflections-and-rotations
Transformations: Rotations
Explore clockwise and counterclockwise rotations to discover the properties of the pre-image and image of a triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-rotations
Elevator: Height and Velocity
Introduce ideas related to rectilinear motion.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/elevator-height-and-velocity
Transformations: Rotations
Explore clockwise and counterclockwise rotations to discover the properties of the pre-image and image of a triangle.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-rotations_1
Transformations: Translations
Investigate what a triangle will look like when it is translated horizontally or vertically.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformations-translations
Area Function Problems
Understand the relationship between the area under a derivative curve and the antiderivative function.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/area-function-problems
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
