| Three-day introductory courses titled Exploring Mathematics with TI-Nspire™ Technology will be offered at all locations listed below. Many locations will host two courses – one for TI-Nspire and one for TI-Nspire CAS. Two-day subject specific workshops will be offered at a few select locations. The 3-day introductory workshop is a prerequisite for the 2-day subject specific workshop. Participants may sign-up for the full week (3-day plus 2-day) or just the 3-day workshop. Only those who have participated in 3-day workshops (at this site or in the past) may sign up for the the 2-day subject specific course.
3-Day Course: Exploring Mathematics with TI-Nspire Technology - These beginner courses will focus on the integration of TI-Nspire technology into the classroom with the use of content-specific activities for Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Precalculus and Calculus. The cost to attend is only $325. Each participant will receive a TI-Nspire handheld and TI-Nspire computer software.
2-Day Course: These intermediate courses are subject specific and focus on aspects of TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS that directly relate to the subject matter. The cost of the 2-day workshop is $225. No equipment is included in the cost of this course.
