Virtual Workshop: Teaching and Learning With the TI-84 Plus Graphing Family in High School Mathematics

Workshop overview

Designed for educators who want to learn more about the features of the TI-84 Plus family of graphing calculators, this workshop offers hands-on explorations demonstrating the effective classroom use of technology within a high school mathematics curriculum.

You’ll become familiar with the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator by working through classroom-ready activities that use the calculator to enhance student understanding and problem-solving. The workshop will also cover the following:

• Overview of the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator, including the MathPrint™ feature and general graphing and statistical functionality.
• Modeling and analysis of univariate data with box plots, histograms and measures of central tendency.
• Exploration of graphing linear functions and solving linear systems graphically.
• Additional coverage of modeling with multiple representations.
• Exploration of interactive lessons that make connections between rate of change, linear functions and systems of linear equations.
• Wider curriculum coverage across key areas in algebra I, geometry, algebra II, precalculus, and statistics.

This workshop covers the same content as the workshop previously called "Getting Started With the TI-84 Plus Graphing Family in High School Mathematics.
