Proving Angles Congruent
In this activity students will be introduced to proofs, including 2-column proofs, paragraph proofs and flow-proofs. They will also look at different diagrams to decide what the diagram is telling them and what they can infere. They will also look at complementary, supplementary, adjacent and v...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/proving-angles-congruent_1
Triangle Midsegment Exploration
The activity has the students investigate the relationship of the midsegment to the third side of the triangle. In addition the students investigate the area of the smaller triangles compared to the larger one and uses the results to solve the "campground" problem. There is a set of follow-up q...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-midsegment-exploration
Perspective Drawings
In this activity, students will draw figures in one- and two-point perspective, comparing and contrasting the two types of drawings. They then create an isometric drawing and compare it to the other drawings.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/perspective-drawings
Applications of Critical Points
Students will examine the relationship between critical points and local extrema through real-world examples. Students will zoom in on the critical points to see if the curve becomes linear to determine if the function is differentiable at the critical point. They will then discover that the sign...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/applications-of-critical-points
Can I Make a Triangle?
This TI-Nspire activity is for the Triangle Inequality Theorem. There are 3 problems that contain 3 segments each. The student tries to make triangles with these segments. They compare the lengths of the shortest to the length of the longest to see if the inequality is true or false. For the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/can-i-make-a-triangle
Angles of a Triangle
This activity explores the various relationships of the angles of a triangle. It starts with an interior angle and its corresponding exterior angle. Then the sum of the interior angles. Finally, the relationship between one exterior angle and its remote interior angles. The students are prov...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angles-of-a-triangle_2
