This workshop is focused on connecting the use of TI-Innovator™ Rover in the mathematics classroom with middle and high school curriculum.
Ready-to-use activities, for enhancing student understanding of key mathematical concepts, will be explored using Rover.
Building upon the lessons from TI’s Math in Motion and 10 Minutes of Code activities, the workshop shows participants how to operate Rover using either TI-84 Plus CE or TI-Nspire™ CX graphing calculators.
By the end of the workshop, participants should be comfortable:
- Operating Rover using prewritten programs, adapting them and designing their own
- Connecting the code of Rover to its motion
- Using the motion of Rover to explore topics in the mathematics curriculum
- Applying the mathematics process standards to Rover activities
Overview
The Implementing TI-Innovator™ Rover in the Mathematics Classroom workshop is available in a one-day, in-person format using Rover with either TI-84 Plus CE or TI-Nspire™ CX technology. A half-day workshop option is also available. A virtual workshop is also available in multiple two- or three-hour sessions.
This workshop can be combined with any of the following workshops to create a multi-day workshop option:
- Learning to Code With the TI-84 Plus Family of Graphing Calculators
- Learning to Code With TI-Nspire™ Technology
- Learning to Code With the TI-Innovator™ Hub
- Getting Started With the TI-Innovator™ Rover
