When we teach with graphing calculators,
not all goes as it should. In this session, the presenter will take the
role of the student who had a very bad day with the calculator.
Participants must diagnose what went wrong and then fix it. (Resetting
the calculator and losing all of the data is not allowed!) All glitches
are from students' real life misadventures. The primary audience
is for TI-82/83/84 users; however, TI-73 users can find most of this
session valuable. Some experience with the calculator is desirable. In
fact, the more mistakes you have made in the past, the better you will
be at problem solving in this session. |
