Instructional Ideas

  • Have learners work in groups and present their findings to the rest of the class

Classroom Considerations

  • Resource assumes use of TI-83 or TI-84, but the work can be done on any calculator or computer
  • Each of the three activities are separate from each other and should take approximately 20 minutes

Pros

  • In-depth explanations help clarify the concepts
  • Includes calculator commands to use for each activity

Cons

  • None
