Session 2 – Getting Started With TI-84 Plus CE Technology and TI-Nspire™ Technology (Calculator and Software)

• How is this member of the TI-84 Plus family different than previous TI-84 Plus family graphing calculators?
• Overview of the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator, basic computation and graphing and functionality
• Effective use of TI-SmartView™ CE Emulator Software
• Overview of the TI-Nspire™ handheld, including general calculator, graphing and statistical functionality.
• Exploration of dynamic, interactive lessons for Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-calculus, Calculus and Statistics.
• Introduction to basic features of Teacher Software.

Session 3 – Supporting Student Learning

• What are the elements of a rich task, as described in NCTM’s Principles to Action?
• Explore tasks that promote the growth mindset
• Review sample tasks and discuss the key components that push student thinking

11 a.m. – 12 p.m. | Lunch

12 – 3 p.m. | Day One Afternoon Sessions

Session 4 – Learning to Code With the TI-Innovator™ Hub (TI-84 Plus CE and TI-Nspire™ Technology)

• This session is designed for educators interested in introducing coding to their students using the TI-Innovator™ Hub with TI Launchpad™ Board
• Extend the lessons seen in the 10 Minutes of Code with TI-Innovator™ technology to excite students in learning the code to control the TI-Innovator™ Hub and the built-in sensors, including light and sound
• Engage your students with the latest technology, preparing them for the next stage to explore real-world STEM applications

Session 5 – Exploring Algebra Topics With TI-84 Plus CE Technology and TI-Nspire™ Technology (Calculator and Software)

• Topics include Linear Functions, Linear Systems, Functions and Relations, Quadratic Functions, Exponential Functions, Radical Functions, Probability, Rational Functions

Session 6 - Orchestrating Effective Discussions in Your Classroom

• Good questions can be hard to ask …
  • This session will address strategies to promote effective and engaging discussions that give all students a voice in your classroom
  • A focus will be on emphasizing NCTM’s Five Practices for Orchestrating Productive Math Discussions
  • This session models rich tasks using in-depth discussions and Mathematical Teaching Practices, with an emphasis on task analysis, questioning strategies and essential TI technology skills to enhance student learning

Thursday, June 28, 2018

7:30 – 8 a.m. | Continental Breakfast

8 - 11 a.m. | Day Two Morning Sessions

Session 7 – Making Math and Science Meaningful With the TI-Innovator™ Hub and TI-Innovator™ Rover

• This session is designed for teachers interested in introducing the TI-Innovator™ Hub with TI-Innovator™ Rover to their students
• This session will highlight lessons that can include topics that will engage your students in new and exciting ways such as:
  • The relationship between distance, rate and time
  • Designing and measuring a segmented path

Session 8 – Exploring Statistics Topics With TI-84 Plus CE Technology and TI-Nspire™ Technology (Calculator and Software)

• Interpreting Univariate Data
  Represent data with dot plots; compare center and spread of data sets; use the mean and standard deviation to fit a data set into a normal distribution
• Interpreting Bivariate Data
  Represent bivariate data on a scatter plot, describe the relationship, and interpret the slope and intercept of a linear model in the context of the data
• Conditional Probability
  Use independence and conditional probability to interpret data; use the rules of probability to compute probabilities of compound events
• Making Inferences and Decisions
  Understand and evaluate random processes underlying statistical experiments

Session 9 – Eliciting Evidence of Student Understanding

• How do you know when students are ready to move on?
• We will explore methods for gauging student comprehension and addressing misconceptions
