  1. Sharing Nspiration Conference: Modeling Data with the TI-Nspire CAS Fletcher’s Meadow S.S. Saturday, February 27, 2010

  2. Nspire Self-Assessment • Please self assess you experience with Nspire: • 1 finger indicates no prior experience • 2 fingers indicates only using at workshops • 3 fingers indicates using the handheld in your class • 4 fingers indicates downloading and using pre-made activities in you class • 5 fingers indicates creating your own activities in your class and being an expert at your school

  3. Function Modeling • The Ontario secondary Mathematics curriculum has a function modeling theme that runs from grades 9 to 12 • Nspire makes function modeling accessible to every student using only handhelds and CBR2’s • Linear modeling in grade 9 • Quadratic modeling in grade 10 • Periodic (Sinusoidal) modeling in grade 11 • Collecting data improves student engagement and comprehension

  4. Auto Launch Window • Since OS v1.6, Nspire allows “Plug N Play” with data collection devices • To begin you simply open a new document and add a blank notes page • Connect the CBR2, or Vernier probe, and an Auto Launch window appears…

  5. Data Collection Console • Once you select the type of page to collect data onto, a split screen appears with the data collection console at the bottom • The data collection console controls the beginning and end of data collection • To change the frequency and duration of the data collection use the Data menu by pressing b • To switch between the data collection console and the graph press /e • The data collected is stored into variables dc01.time, dc01.dist1, dcc01.vel1anddc01.acc1

  6. Nspire CAS Teacher Edition Software • This software allows you to demo data collection • You will need a mini-USB adapter • Lets see a demo ….

  7. Data Collection using the CBR2 • Now it’s your turn. Form teams of three with a variety of experience levels in your team • Each team uses one handheld, one CBR2 and tools to collect data • You will do three activities in a carousel: • Collect and model linear data • Collect and model quadratic data • Collect and model periodic data • If you need help refer to the data collection handout

  8. Vernier Data Probes for Nspire CAS • Vernier offers four products for data collection • EZ-Temp Probe (connects to Handheld and collects real time temperatures), P/N EZ-TMP, $59 • Go-Link (connect probes to PC), P/N GO-LINK, $85 • Easy Link (connect CBL2 probes to Nspire), P/N EX-LINK, $89 • Mini USB Adapter (Connect EZ-Temp or CBR2 to PC), P/N MINI-USB, $7.50 • James Frielink (james@merlan.ca 1-800-387-2474 x113) from Merlan Scientific is the rep for Ontario
