Workshop A: Learning TI-NspireTM CAS Basics Presenter: Frank Moya
Description: This session is aimed at teachers who have limited experience with some or all of the 'applications' available in TI-Nspire CAS.
This session will cover;
-
- key features and basic navigation of TI-Nspire™ CAS.
-
- creating, saving, opening and using TI-Nspire™ CAS documents.
-
- simple numerical and algebraic computations in the 'Calculator' application.
-
- entering statistical data in the 'Lists and spreadsheet' application and using data to create statiscial plots/graphs in the 'Data and Statistics' application
Workshop B: Making the Most of Your TI-Navigator™ Presenter: Peter Fox
Description: Want to learn more about your school’s Navigator system? In this workshop we will be ‘flipping’ the classroom. Participants will be using Navigator, as a teacher. You will learn skills such as how to run a quick poll, track student learning through the screen capture tool and how to create assessment documents that will save you time! To get the most out of this workshop, participants are encouraged to bring their school’s Navigator system, access point with at least 5 wi-fi adapters. Calculators will be provided.
**Note: If you have not yet set up your school’s Navigator system you will be invited to participate in an on-line getting started session prior to the LEC event.
Workshop C: VCE Unit 4 Mathematical Mathematics: Probability & Statistics Presenter: Frank Moya
Description: This session will showcase ways in which TI-Nspire™ CAS can be used effecively to enhance the teaching, learning and assessment of the new content in Probability & Statistics. As part of this hands-on session, participants will be offered tips and tricks to help get the most out of TI-Nspire™ CAS. Participants will leave with tasks and ideas for teaching that can be used in their classrooms.
Workshop D: VCE Unit 4 Further Mathematics: Matrices Presenter: Peter Fox
Description: This session will showcase ways in which TI-Nspire™ CAS can be used effecively to enhance the teaching, learning and assessment of the Matrices module. As part of this hands-on session, participants will be offered tips and tricks to help get the most out of TI-Nspire™ CAS. Participants will leave with tasks and ideas for teaching that can be used in their classrooms.
Workshop E: VCE Units 3 & 4 Mathematical Methods: Effective TI-NspireTM CAS Use in Examination 2 Presenter: Frank Moya
Description: This session will showcase ways in which TI-Nspire™ CAS can be used effectively in Examination 2. In particular, use will be made of the TI-Nspire Notes Application to answer a collection of examination-style questions. Participants will leave with ideas for producing examination question templates for use by their students in upcoming examinations.
Workshop F: VCE Unit 4 Specialist Mathematics: Probability and Statistics Presenter: Peter Fox
