Integrating STEM with TI-Nspire Technology Adrian Oldknow The Mathematical Association aoldknow@yahoo.co.uk http://www.facebook.com/HPCatalyst
Good morning and welcome Apologies for my lousy Powerpoint skills Many thanks to TI for: Supporting this conference Making this fantastic technology Making the last 20 years of my life so much fun! And it still gets better.... And thanks to you for coming along.
I guess we know, and are still learning, what TI-Nspire Technology is? But what do you understand by STEM? And why should it be integrated? (Hint: State of the Union) Not: STEM – but maybe SMarT Our countries need SMarT schools and teachers
I’ll take examples from schools developing cross-curricular cooperation to make the subjects more joined-up and engaging for all. Sports and Toys for Enjoyment & Motivation
Format of today’s session: First: plug the books! Second: the links are on the handout but e-mail me if you want a copy with live links aoldknow@yahoo.co.uk Third: there will be some data-logging, video capture and geometry using both TI-Nspire and some other technologies. Ready to go?
A mental starter • 9.8, 9.8, 9.8, 9.8, .., .., .., • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .., .., .., • 1, 4, 9, 15, 25, .., .., .., • 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, .., .., .., • 1, ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16, .., .., .., In each case predict the next 3 values, sketch a graph, use a name to describe the process, think of an experiment which might give data like this.
Can you estimate the date of the photos – and the speed of the Jag?
