Notice and Wonder With TI Tools for Exploring Families of Functions

Research continues to support the need for student exploration. In this session, we will use the Families of Functions library available on the TI website to see how these materials can encourage students to notice and wonder about what they are seeing and experiencing. We will also show how to use TI-84 Plus CE Python and TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculators as a teaching and learning tool for transformation graphing of these families.

DifferenTIation Through AcTIve ParTIcipation

Have you considered what differentiation looks like in a post-COVID-19 classroom? In this session, participants will experience differentiation through active learning using TI technology. Participants will discuss how differentiation can be implemented overtly and covertly, and discuss the benefits/reasons for each method. This session will ignite a conversation for defining the role of technology when it comes to post-COVID-19 instruction.

What We Do To Help Students Love Math

From songs to TI-Nspire™ discovery activities, and from mastery to formative assessment that engages all students, learn what we do to increase students’ love and enjoyment of mathematics. Many more ideas that build classroom identity and community, help students see connections, and increase motivation for success will be shown. 

Mindset for the ACT^® Mathematics Test: Boost Student Scores With a Different Approach

Mindset, practice and pacing are three of the most important things students should consider going into the ACT^® math test. We will help you learn to meet students where they are and help them adjust their approaches to problems accordingly. Tools, resources and strategies will be provided.

Simulating Dice With Python on the TI-Nspire™ CX II Graphing Calculator

Using either the handheld or the computer software, we will walk you through the process of coding a simulation in Python, and visualize the results using the Data Analysis tools built into the TI system.

Supporting Middle School OpenSciEd With TI Technology

OpenSciEd is a free MS curriculum designed to meet the NGSS. We’ll explore new
TI-Nspire™ simulations that engage students in investigating, analyzing data and solving problems. See how these TI activities align and support students in visualizing and more actively engaging in OpenSciEd lessons.

Let’s Build an Engaging Mathematics Lesson To Address All Learners

Engaging all students is the ultimate goal for learning mathematics. What magic must take place to accomplish this? We start with developing a community of learners and move to the structural components of the lesson that invite the voices of all students, promote discovery and inquiry using technology when appropriate, make connections, and consolidate and reflect on the learning.

TI-Innovator™ Rover as a Robot-boat for Ocean Monitoring and Cleaning

This project adapts the TI-Innovator™ Rover for movement on water, using solar energy, for ocean monitoring and cleaning. Discover how this problem-solving approach based on STEM, in a realistic application of TI technology and Python programming, can lead to sustainable development and more responsible students.

STEM-ulate Your Students With TI

This session will provide ready-made STEM activities for your face-to-face and virtual classes. Learn how to write and use programs for models, simulations and robot interaction that will motivate students to investigate important concepts and apply them to real-world situations.

Promoting Probability Understanding With Python on the TI-Nspire™ CX Family of Graphing Calculators

Taking advantage of the power of Python programming on the TI-Nspire™ CX graphing calculator (or TI-84 Plus CE Python graphing calculator), we will explore probability problems chosen from the American Statistical Association’s March Randomness contest by illustrating how simulation can be used to test student probability intuition.

Providing Feedback — Critique Not Criticize

Feedback is a powerful way to encourage students to engage deeply with mathematical content. Teachers need feedback from students in order to assess and promote thinking. Students need feedback from each other and from the teacher in order to gain momentum while problem-solving. The right technology can facilitate the flow and organization of a wealth of feedback. This spurs discussion in powerful ways. Join us to see how we can make this happen in the context of rich problems.

If You Have Questions, We Have Answers!

By using the TI-Nspire™ CX Premium Teacher Software, you are able to create several different types of questions to use as formative assessments with your students. In this session, you will also learn how to make questions multi-select, self-check, and how to insert a picture into a question.

Experience Statistical Concepts Using the TI-84 Plus CE Graphing Calculator

When a student hears the word “statistics,” they think mean, median and mode. As math teachers, we know that isn’t even the top of the iceberg. We will explore statistical concepts beyond MMM using the visualization capabilities of the TI-84 Plus CE.

Utilizing TI-Nspire™ CX Navigator™ System Strategies to Effectively Assess and Reduce Paper Grading Time

This session will focus on advancing the amount of formative assessment feedback to students while looking to eliminate as much as 75% of paper grading. Strategies to use the TI-Nspire™ CX Navigator™ System more effectively with the portfolio in the teacher software will be explored. Bonus: Advance ACT® scores!
