PCMI 2010 SSTP: Reflecting on

TeachingDay 5:

Tools of technology

Get a partner. You will use the TI together.

Read the handout . Use the TI- Inspire to construct a visual

display that supports your conclusion.

15-20 minutes max

Put on your student hats!

Suppose that the screens you see now are the work of a classroom of students.

How will your construct a classroom discussion that:◦ promotes a "level 3" conversation about the

mathematics? ◦ Shows / resolves confusions/misconceptions?

20 minutes, put on poster paper. 1 per table.

Put on your teacher hats!

In case you forgot

What important mathematics should emerge?

How will you deal with the different solutions? Justify.

How will you determine what students understand?

How will you prepare for student errors/misconceptions when they emerge?

Things to think about

What other methods work (don’t work) for sharing results like we did with the TI Navigators? Why(not)?

“But I don’t have a TI Navigator!”

If something hits the fan…Here’s our “Plan B”
