Engaging ways to Explore
Victorian Senior Mathematics Courses
FREE Professional Development
Date: Friday 17th February, 2017
Sign in: 8:30am – 9:00am
Workshop 1: 9:00am to 12:00pm
Mathematical Methods Unit 1
The Study Design for Unit 1 includes some mathematical concepts for which dynamic features of TI-Nspire™ CAS make it an ideal exploration tool. Participants will create dynamic, interactive documents to investigate various topics, including the bisection method, families of polynomial & power functions, transformations, inverse functions and rates of change. Participants will also set up simple probability simulations and obtain graphical displays of the
results, leading to informal consideration of proportions in samples.
Lunch: 12:00 to 12:30
Workshop 2: 12:45pm to 3:45pm
Mathematical Methods Unit 3
Graphical, algebraic, numerical and spreadsheet functionalities of TI-Nspire™ CAS will be used to explore the various areas of study, including key features of circular and other functions, transformations of functions and differential calculus.
The Study Design indicates that the Unit 3 SAC (Application Task) should including situations requiring problem-solving, modelling or investigative techniques or approaches. Highlighted activities will illustrate ways in which TI-Nspire CAS can support these approaches, providing participants with skills that they can apply to their own SACs.
