In this activity students will explore what causes some regular polygons to tesselate. They will explore sketches of regular polygons, measure the interior angles, and test to see whether the shapes tesselate.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tesselations
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
Perpendicular Bisector
In this activity, students will explore the perpendicular bisector theorem and discover that if a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then the point is equidistant from the endpoints. This is an introductory activity, where students will need to know how to change between pages, ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perpendicular-bisector_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
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
3D Parametric
