Virtual Workshop: Leveraging TI Technology for ACT^® Test Success

Workshop overview

This workshop is designed for mathematics educators who want to learn to leverage TI-84 Plus CE or TI-Nspire™ CX technology skills to drive student success on the ACT^® test by exploring released test items.

Educators will cover the main elements of the ACT^® test, discuss strategies for helping students to better understand key topics, and emphasize techniques for teaching with TI-84 Plus CE and TI-Nspire™ CX technology.

By the end of the workshop, participants should feel comfortable with:

• Leveraging graphing calculators for exam questions in key categories such as number and quantity, algebra, functions, geometry, and statistics and probability.
• Highlighting the key content areas on the ACT^® test and adjusting mathematics instruction accordingly.
