This could be used to reinforce triangles and paralled lines as well as introduce the concept of rotating an object.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/angle-sum-in-triangles-proof-using-rotation-and-a-parallel-line
30-60-90 right triangles in Cabri Jr
Students will explore the relationships between the sides of 30-60-90 right triangleshttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/306090-right-triangles-in-cabri-jr
Transforming "F" on the coordinate plane
Students move their cursor in activity center to occupy a unique point on a background letter "F" in quadrant 1. Students then together follow a rule for going to a different point (such as "use the opposite of the original x coordinate") and sketch the resulting transformation on their worksheet...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transforming-f-on-the-coordinate-plane
Triangle Congruence with Activity Center
When the activity is started in Navigator, students receive a diagram on their calculators with 6 regions representing the possible answers to a triangle congruence problem. The teacher displays a pair of triangles on the overhead projector or whiteboard and students move their cursor to the regi...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangle-congruence-with-activity-center
Right Triangle Vocabulary
Using Activity Center, students will "march" to the appropriate triangle segment. This activity allows the entire class to demonstrate understanding of vocabulary words necessary to start right trianlge trigonometry: opposite side, adjacent side and hypotenuse side. This activity is a good cl...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/right-triangle-vocabulary
TI-83/84 Scavenger Hunt
A short activity that can be used to teach your students about the graphing calculator. Written by a student to ensure that students can understand it. Includes teacher's key.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/ti8384-scavenger-hunt
Reflections
Reviewing reflections of figures on a coordinate planehttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/reflections_1
Transformational Puppet
This activity is designed to reinforce the concepts of reflections and translations by having the students create a virtual puppet using Cabri Jr. As they construct their puppets, students will reinforce their understanding of reflections and translations by making predictions about the location...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transformational-puppet_1
Measure Up!
In this activity, students' create a plot showing the heights of some of their classmates. They determine the extreme values and the median for the height data and construct a box-and-whisker plot to summarize the height statistics.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/measure-up
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Assassin" - The Escape Game
In "Assassin," Charlie is trying to figure out where a killer might strike given that he knows who the victim will be. By analyzing the movements of the would-be victim, Charlie models the decisions that the assassin will make. This is an example of behavioral game theory, where the motives of tw...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--assassin--the-escape-game
Dynamic Geometry: Basic Constructions
Students use the Cabri™ Jr. application to draw triangles and construct perpendicular bisectors on the sides of a triangles. They study the properties of a triangle and understand how the measures of angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/dynamic-geometry-basic-constructions
Dynamic Geometry: Program Basics
Students use the Cabri™ Jr. application to draw triangles and explore properties of perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of different types of the triangles.
