Implementing Formative Assessment with the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ System – Next Steps for Intermediate Users

This workshop explores the formative assessment features of the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ System in the context of a high school mathematics curriculum. Practice using pre-made Math Nspired lessons compatible with the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ System, and explore questioning strategies and question types available in the Question application. Learn how to create a storyboard for a lesson to assess student understanding at key points. By instantly viewing student data, you’ll learn how to respond to student results and differentiate your instruction by sending different tasks to different students.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll be comfortable using the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ System to formatively assess student understanding and best respond to varying needs.
