I'm Melting, I'm Melting
Students will use the Vernier EasyTemp© temperature sensor to determine the change in thermal energy for a given mass of ice, the heat of fusion of ice, and percent error.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/im-melting-im-melting
Expanding -- Using CAS
This is a group work activity that allows students to use the CAS capabilities of the TI-Nspire to explore patterns emerging from the product of two binomials.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/expanding--using-cas
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
Properties of Parallelograms
Students will manipulate parallelograms to discover the relationships between the sides, angles, and diagonals of parallelograms.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-parallelograms_7
Cyclic Quadrilaterals
Explore the relationship between chords of a circle and their perpendicular bisectors.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/cyclic-quadrilaterals
Dilations
This activity is designed to allow students to create an interactive document that allows them to alter the specifications of a dilation and visually and numerically see its effects.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dilations
Points of Concurrency in Triangles
In this activity, students will use their Nspire handhelds to discover the different points of concurrencies in triangles. The students will take advantage of the dynamic capabilities to discover the circumcenter, incenter, and centroid of triangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/points-of-concurrency-in-triangles
Exploring Parallel Lines and Angles
Students will explore the relationships between pairs of angles formed when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. They will identify special pairs of angles, measure all the angles formed by two parallel lines cut by a transversal, and then look for patterns among the measures.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-parallel-lines-and-angles
Congruent Triangles - Conditions that Prove Congruency
Students will investigate what conditions are necessary to prove two triangles are congruent.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/congruent-triangles--conditions-that-prove-congruency
Secants, Tangents, And Angle Measures
This activity is intended to be used as an interactive tool to help students learn about the relationships between the the angles and arcs formed with intersecting secant and tangent lines.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/secants-tangents-and-angle-measures
Assessing Normality
In this activity, students will learn four characteristics of a normal curve: the distribution is symmetric and mound-shaped; the mean and median are approximately equal; the distribution meets the 68-95.5-99.7 rule; and the normal probability plot is linear. They will use these to determine if a...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/assessing-normality
From 0 to 180 - Rethinking the Cosine Law with Data
The goal of this activity is for students to experience a data-driven, inductive investigation leading to the cosine law. This could be used in addition to or instead of the traditional proof to deepen the understanding of the behavior of triangles and make the concepts more accessible to more s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/from-0-to-180--rethinking-the-cosine-law-with-data
Remember When
In this activity, students will model the relationship between the year and average income, average price of a house, and average price of a car using exponential functions. Then students will answer questions related to the models to gain a deeper understanding of exponential functions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/remember-when
