Developing Student Strategic Thinking With Non-Routine Problems
Technology: TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculator,TI-Nspire™ CX II CAS graphing calculator
Capacity: 30Saturday
9:30 – 10:50 a.m. | Level Two, Arts District 5
Mathematical problem-solving is a non-routine process by nature. Mathematical problem-solving is the opportunity for students to engage in mathematics and derive a reasonable way or ways to solve the problem. Research shows that tasks associated with solving non-routine problems require higher cognitive demand and lead to development of strategic thinking. In this session, participants will engage in using TI-Nspire™ CX technology to solve non-routine problems in geometry, algebra and precalculus. We will also discuss research-based recommendations for using non-routine problems to engage students in doing mathematics. Familiarity with the TI-Nspire™ CX family of graphing calculators is recommended for full engagement.
