Ti Nspire Calculator in Geometry

In Geometry, students used the new TI-Nspire calculators to manipulate triangles to find out the least amount of information needed in order to prove two triangles are congruent.  Students knew how to prove triangles are congruent by proving all the sides and all the angles congruent.  This activity was a precursor activity to learning about SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS.  It also dealt with the ambiguous case of SSA.

Ti 84+ Calculator in Algebra Concepts

Today in my Algebra Concepts classes we graphed different quadratic equations and compared them to the parent function y = x^2. It appears that the students are becoming more competent w/ the calculators, because there were far fewer questions today as regards to how to operate the calculators than I have had in the past. Today was also a good example for the students of where technology in mathematics will help to speed up the problem, as opposed to slowing down the problem, which happens far too often in mathematics..

Ti 84+ Calculator in Algebra Concepts

They seemed to be engaged in the material, and I know they enjoyed the fact that they did not have to physically graph the quadratics, because those can be very time consuming and there are a lot of chances for error. Being able to just type in the graphs gave us a chance to look over the graphs without having to worry about whether we had made a mistake on the graph of not, and instead gave us a chance to focus on the comparisons.

Ti Nspire in Algebra Concepts

The Ti Nspire Calculator is used in Mr. Roberts’ Algebra Concepts class, in spreadsheet mode, to assist students in understanding budgets.

Ti Nspire in Algebra Concepts

Although similar to the spreadsheet, this Ti Nspire personal calculator is available for classroom use when the computer lab is not.

Teacher led Airliner Slate Lesson

The Airliner Slate has become a popular alternative to the Smart Board. Here the slate is used in conjunction with the Smart Response Clicker System.

Smart Response Clickers

Students use the Smart Response clickers to answer their daily 5 point quiz in Nicole Flowers’ Physical Science class.

Smart Response Clickers

Ms. Flowers will know instantly how the students responded to the questions. She can immediately assess comprehension and understanding.
