  1. Falling Back in Love With Your TI-84 Plus CE Graphing Calculator Just in Time for Back to School
    Presented by Corey Boby and Tracy Watson


    Find ideas for activities you can use with students to get them to love mathematics as much as we all do. You’ll explore:
    • Graphing functions and the relationships between the equation, table and graph.
    • Expressions using the home screen and tables.
    • Inequality graphing and applications.
    • Geometric transformations.

    “Awesome helpful tips and great examples to start the year.” — Robin Midiri, Oak Park USD (California)


  2. Assessing Student Thinking and Understanding Beyond the Right Answer
    Presented by Sherri Abel and Jan Mitchener


    Is the answer to a mathematical question the end of learning? How might you use TI technology to move beyond the answer? Discover strategies for getting students thinking beyond the right (or wrong) answer.

    “I found the presenters engaging. [They] interacted well with each other, modeling what they would do with their students and demonstrating how teachers could implement it in individual classrooms. [It’s] easy to see how ideas could be applied in a variety of classes.” — Donna McIntosh, Lord Beaverbrook High School (Alberta, Canada)


  3. Tricks and Treats: Halloween Ideas for Your Math Classroom
    Presented by Tom Reardon
