Texas Instruments: Going in Circles Inscribed Angles
This lesson has students discover properties of inscribed angles in a circle. Students use the Geometer's Sketchpad application for the TI-89 to construct a circle and an inscribed angle.

Texas Instruments: Relationship of Angles to the Circle
For this activity, students recognize the relationship of angles to circles. They study the Inscribed Angle Theorem and its corollaries.

Texas Instruments: Chords, Secants, and Tangents
Students construct chords, secants, and tangents. From those constructions, they develop a deeper understanding of the terms, as well as explore certain properties of the constructions.

Illustrative Mathematics: G C, G Co Tangent Lines and the Radius of a Circle
In this task, students are shown a circle with center O and point P on the circle. L is a line that is a tangent to the circle at P. They must show that line OP is perpendicular to line L. Aligns with G-C.A.2, G-CO.A, and G-CO.C.9.

Illustrative Mathematics: G C, G Srt Neglecting the Curvature of the Earth
Jerry and Ashley are trying to find out if it is possible to see the lowest point in the USA from the highest point in the USA. It turns out that the highest point in the United States, the peak of Mount Whitney, is only 85 miles from...

Illustrative Mathematics: G C Right Triangles Inscribed in Circles I
This task provides a good opportunity to use isosceles triangles and their properties to show an interesting and important result about triangles inscribed in a circle with one side of the triangle a diameter. The fact that these...

Illustrative Mathematics: G C Right Triangles Inscribed in Circles Ii
In this task, students analyze the characteristics of a right triangle that has two sides labeled with midpoints and show that the triangle is inscribed in a circle with a diameter the length of its hypotenuse. Aligns with G-C.A.2.
