Translations in the Coordinate Plane
It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are translated in the coordinate plane. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/translations-in-the-coordinate-plane
Shortest Distance Problem
This is a great follow-up to the Introduction to Properties in Reflections. Students may have trouble producing a scaled drawing. Using a scale of 1 to 5 works well. See the figure below for a possible scaled construction.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/shortest-distance-problem
Reflecting a Triangle in the Coordinate Plane
In this activity, students use the drawing and measurement tools of Cabri™ Jr. to blend coordinate geometry with drawing tools. They visualize symmetry and reflect a point across the y-axis.

Testing Claims About Proportions
Students find z-scores and critical values to test claims about proportions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/testing-claims-about-proportions
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Soft Target" - Are You Sure?
In "Soft Target," Charlie uses Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), a multiple regression method, to predict the next terrorist attack. This method, like many others used to predict events, may use a tree diagram to visualize possibilities. The use of tree diagrams is seen in probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--soft-target--are-you-sure
Assessing Normalcy
Students use four criteria to determine if a data set is normal. They begin by looking at a histogram to determine if it is symmetric and bell-shaped.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/assessing-normalcy
Multiple choice questions on Locus of points
Students use StudyCards(tm) to answer multiple choice questions about points.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/multiple-choice-questions-on-locus-of-points
Exterior and Interior Angle Theorem
