Segments Formed by Intersectiong Chords, Secants, and Tangents
Learners investigate the properties of segments formed which chords, secants, and tangents, intersect. The dynamic nature of Cabri Jr. allows high schoolers to form and verify conjectures regarding segment relationships.
Curated OER
Angles and Transversals
Pupils explore the concept of angles and transversals. They construct parallel and non-parallel lines cut by a transversal using Cabri Jr. Learners then determine which angles are congruent and the relationship of angles when two lines...
