  1. F3 @ T3(Function Family Fun @ T3) 2010 T3 International Conference Atlanta, GA Friday, March 5th

  2. Where I’m from

  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 (CAS and non-CAS) allows “Plug N Play” with data collection devices • To begin you simply open a new document and add a blank notes page • Next, 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 Experiment menu • To retry the data collection use the Data menu • The data collected is stored into variables dc01.time, dc01.dist1, dcc01.vel1 and dc01.acc1

  6. Linear Data Modeling Demo • The Nspire teacher edition allows you to model data collection and linear modeling • You will need a mini-USB adapter available from Vernier • Lets see a demo ….

  7. Experiments to Gather Data for Modeling: Linear Data • Walk at a constant rate • Others? Quadratic Data • Ball bounce • Roll a can up a ramp • Pillow toss • Others? • Sinusoidal Data • Pendulum • Walk around • a hula-hoop • Weighted • Springs • Others?

  8. It’s Your Turn … • Form a group of 3 or 4. Your group must have members with at least two different coloured poker chips • Assign roles (Operator, Tech Support, Coach) • Your group will complete all three activities: • Modeling Linear Data (Violet sheet) • Modeling Quadratic Data (Light green sheet) • Modeling Sinusoidal Data (Buff coloured sheet) • For extra support refer to: • Data Collection with TI Nspire (Bright Green sheet) • Manually Manipulating Functions on TI-Nspire (Pink Sheet)

  9. Vernier Data Probes for Nspire • 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 CBL2 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 • Visit the Vernier booth for more information

  10. Is it a Coincidence? • Texas Instrument colours and Team Canada’s colours are the same!! • P.S.: Yes, colour is spelled correctly
