We will put on a pair of mathematical glasses to look for where math lives in the world around us, and we will practice the art of developing mathematical questions related to where we encounter mathematics.

Because this is a webinar, we will not be able to go outside for a walk, but we will be able to examine photos and videos to view the world through a mathematical lens. We will discuss how TI technology can be used be used to support students through a journey that begins with them answering our mathematical questions and that leads students to posing and solving their own questions related to what is of interest to them.

How can you help your students to reason about proportional situations, including those with unit and non-unit rates? During the webinar, the presenter will use the instructional routine of "Problem Strings" to demonstrate how to help students construct multiplicative and proportional reasoning.

Explore the power of TI technology to:

• Create scatter plots of proportional data
• Graph functions that model the data
• Examine rates of change and the connections to the data and the functions

The presenter will utilize both TI-84 Plus CE and TI-Nspire™ graphing calculators during the webinar.

During this follow-up webinar, the presenters will focus on instructional practices for supporting the development and revision of tasks that support task implementation with TI technology. The presenters will examine how specific practices and task selection can leverage technology to support student learning, such as:

• Connecting mathematical representations
• Posing purposeful questions

In this webinar, the presenters will promote strategies that connect some frequently overlooked TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator capabilities with students’ analytical thinking.

By the end of this interactive webinar, participants will have experienced these strategies:

• Utilizing the Ask feature within a table (for multiple choice questions or checking answers)
• Introducing the Store capacity on the home screen (to work with expressions and equations, especially equations in standard form)
• Using Sequence Mode to predict the NEXT value, based on the NOW value
• Exploring Piecewise Graphing as it is used to make sense of situational questions

Have your TI-84 Plus CE handy and play along.

In this webinar, presenters will explore strategies and TI graphing calculator skills that can help students prepare for the math section of the ACT® test.

Join this presentation to:

• Get tips for integrating TI-84 Plus CE or TI-Nspire™ graphing technology to find answers to ACT® test questions
• Learn ACT® test-prep strategies that can be implemented in your classroom to solve multiple-choice problems
• Familiarize yourself with some of the question types found on the math ACT® test

This webinar is designed for algebra I educators in Texas who use TI-84 Plus CE or TI-Nspire™ graphing technology and want to learn more to drive student success on the Texas Algebra I EOC exam.

Presenters will discuss:

• Using TI graphing technology to create truth statements for solving algebra I questions
• Powerful reasons for utilizing the Graph feature even when students are not prompted to graph
• The use of graphing technology with recursive functions

Students begin to work with equivalent expressions in algebra and continue through their high school math courses. In this webinar, AP® Calculus Readers will discuss seeing structure in expressions and equations from algebra I through calculus. They will highlight expectations across the grade levels, building a conceptual foundation in preparation for AP® Calculus.

Ultimately, on the AP® Calculus exam, students will be expected to use and recognize equivalent expressions on the multiple-choice section. For example, students should be able to rearrange expressions into equivalent forms before evaluating a limit. Students should also be able to convert simple rational and radical expressions into exponent forms before finding a derivative or antiderivative.

The presenters will utilize both TI-84 Plus CE and TI-Nspire™ graphing calculators during the webinar.

Let’s put our principles into action by using some of the effective teaching practices with some of our favorite rich tasks. During this webinar, presenters will examine key elements of NCTM’s “Principles to Actions.”

Join us to:

• Experience ways to make the “Principles to Actions” come alive in your classroom
• Explore activities that bring together some of the effective teaching strategies from “Principles to Actions”
• Consider how dynamic interactive technology can enhance those strategies

The presenters will utilize both TI-84 Plus CE and TI-Nspire™ graphing calculators during the webinar.

Let’s put on a pair of mathematical glasses to look for where math lives in current events and develop mathematical questions related to daily life. Join NCTM columnist Ron Lancaster as he leads a discussion on how students can use TI technology to answer mathematical questions related to events of the day. The end goal will be to have students do this on their own by asking them to read news stories and develop their own questions. Technology skills will include lists, tables, graphs and the solver utility.

In the second session of our “Algebra through Calculus” series, presenters will discuss domain and range of functions. Students begin to work with domains and ranges in algebra and continue this through their high school courses. In this webinar, AP® Calculus Readers will discuss these concepts throughout the vertical alignment of high school courses. They will highlight expectations across the grade levels, building a conceptual foundation in preparation for AP® Calculus.

Ultimately, on the AP® Calculus exam, students are expected to know the domains of polynomial, rational, power, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions. For example, students should consider domain restrictions whenever they work with the analysis of functions using the first and second derivative. Continuity and differentiability are also topics that rely heavily on the domain of a function. Students should also be able to work with domain restrictions when working with differential equations.

The presenters will utilize both TI-84 Plus CE and TI-Nspire™ graphing calculators during the webinar.
