Next Steps

 

Now put this information into practice. Consider a lesson that you plan to present in the near future and write an activity that explores a model with a spreadsheet and a slider. Consider if the activity will be teacher lead or worked on by students in small groups with computers. Develop investigative questions that lead the students to exploring and arriving at the intended conclusions.

 

Also, consider a second lesson that you plan to present and write an activity where students solve a real world problem numerically, graphically, and/or symbolically with their calculator. Consider how you will introduce the activity, what you will have the students complete, and how they will present their results for your assessment. Good luck!
