During online registration, you will select from one of four breakout sessions offered during each time slot.
Session 1 | Tips and Tricks With the TI-84 Plus Family of Graphing Calculators: Did You Know That It Could Do That?
For new and experienced users — get creative, cool and essential ideas to utilize the TI-83 and TI-84 Plus graphing calculator and its color version, the TI-84 Plus CE, much more effectively.
Session 2 | I Didn’t Know My TI-Nspire™ CX II Graphing Calculator Could Do That!
Learn how TI-Nspire™ CX II technology facilitates reasoning, sense-making and understanding in an interactive mathematics classroom.
Session 3 | Leveraging Classroom Instruction to Maximize Student Achievement on the Grades Eight and 10 MCAS Mathematics Exams, Part A
Did you know the TI-84 Plus CE is a digital graphing calculator on the grades eight and 10 MCAS exams? Are you wondering how to support your students in using this tool effectively on their state test?
In this session, learn how to incorporate this powerful tool in your classroom to improve student learning and success on the grades eight and 10 MCAS mathematics tests. This session is designed to:
Bring your laptop, if possible, and we’ll explore using the TI-84 Plus CE pull-down on sample MCAS exams.
Session 4 | Connecting Science and Math Through Data Collection With TI-84 Plus CE and TI-Nspire™ CX II Graphing Calculators
This session will focus on integrating key science and mathematics concepts with TI technology.
Session 5 | Learning to Code With TI Technology for Beginners
This session is designed for educators interested in introducing coding to their students using TI-84 Plus CE or TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculators.
Session 6 | Intermediate Coding With TI Technology — One Step Beyond 10 Minutes of Code
Take your programming skills to a higher level. Let’s assume you are comfortable with the material found in TI’s 10 Minutes of Code and want to go beyond the basics. Work with the author of all the TI Codes materials and gain some firsthand knowledge of some of the more elegant and exotic coding activities that are possible. Topics will include:
Session 7 | Exploring Algebra Topics With TI-84 Plus CE Technology
Utilizing the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator, we will explore topics that are important stepping stones to other mathematics courses, such as:
Session 8 | Developing Deeper Conceptual Understanding to Prepare for the SAT® Test With TI Technology
Students who only excel at procedural fluency (memorizing steps and formulas) will have a tough time on the math section of the SAT® test. What is needed?
This session will explore:
Session 9 | Creating a Mood Ring With the TI-Innovator™ Hub and TI-RGB Array
Join this session to experience the science of color mixing while determining the right body temperature thresholds using a TI-Innovator™ Hub and TI’s new TI-RGB Array. The TI-RGB Array provides another level of engagement as students experiment with controlling each of the 16 individual RGB LEDs. Math, science and design all come together. Concepts can include:
Session 10 | Learning to Code With the TI-Innovator™ Rover
This session is designed for teachers interested in introducing coding with the TI-Innovator™ Rover to their students. The session will highlight lessons that include topics that will engage your students in new and exciting ways, such as programing the Rover to:
Session 11 | Leveraging Classroom Instruction to Maximize Student Achievement on the Grades Eight and 10 MCAS Mathematics Exams, Part B
Did you know the TI 84 Plus CE is a digital graphing calculator on the grades eight and 10 MCAS exams? Are you wondering how to support your students in using this tool effectively on their state test?
In this session, learn how to incorporate this powerful tool in your classroom to improve student learning and success on the grades eight and 10 MCAS mathematics tests. This session is designed to:
