What can happen on a 3 year journey
1. A few calculators to check out
2. One school wide projector with a fuzzy screen
3. Huh, what is TI-Navigator
4. How can we write a grant5. Mismatch in grade level
standards and a shortage of math classes
1. TI-84 Silver Plus’s for all math students
2. Ceiling mounted projectors in the entire school
3. 3 dedicated TI-Navigators in our building
4. 3 grants and the only school in CO to attend the Microsoft Innovative Teachers Forum in 2007
5. Beginning to realign our math program

Why use TI-Navigator?
• Gets everyone involved• Provides real-time feedback• The technology appeals to the students• Great for visual learners• Formative assessments• Electronic portfolios
![Page 4: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Real Data in Real Time
1. Perfect for using data in the classroom as formative assessments. The immediate feedback allows teachers to adjust teaching
2. Data from the world around us helps students connect with our teaching

How to Open Sample Quiz
• Back• Network apps• Learncheck• Take sample quiz
![Page 8: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Class Analysis Feature
• Show the results of a learn check by showing a PowerPoint type of presentation with the
• Question• Answer• An spreadsheet of
answers for the teacher
• Class analysis icon
![Page 9: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How to use the quick poll
• As the teacher, Click on the quick poll feature
• Questions can be typed in or created ahead of time
• Great for formative assessments
• Quick poll responses include:
• True/False• Yes/No• Right/Wrong• Multiple Choice• Open Response
![Page 10: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
View of Quick Poll and Options
![Page 11: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fastest Finger
• Shared at T3
in Dallas• Great for basic facts, multiple choice
problems, and homework+5 Being the first person and right+3 (if the 1st person is not correct, and right answer)+1 Correct answer at any time 0 Wrong answer-5 For being the first person and wrong!
• The point is that it is more important to be right than to be fast
![Page 12: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Quick Poll
• On a scale from 0 to 1000, how important is access to the internet to you?
![Page 13: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Examples of internet responses
• Sample of the Quick Poll Summary
• Each student rated the importance of the internet on a scale between 0 and 1000
![Page 14: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Activity Center Notes and Ideas
• 1. Graphing Activity from Patrick Sanchez• 2. Try graphing points from verbal directions • 3. Graph lines with the slope and y-intercept
y = 1/3x - 2• 4. Graph inequalities such as y ≤ 2x + 1 Activity from Robert Lochel
![Page 15: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Uses for the Activity Center
• Students contribute points, lines, or data.• Students can fill out forms.• Activity settings can be prepared in advance.• Collected data can be disseminated back to
students.
![Page 16: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Material for the Census at School example
“Census At School is a non-profit project funded by organizations interested in promoting good use of statistics and data handling.” Students can participate and use their own data for math classes.
• Phase 8 Secondary Survey http://www.censusatschool.ntu.ac.uk/default.asp
![Page 17: "Mathematics is the Queen of the Sciences." - Carl Friedrich Gauss](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070409/568144a1550346895db1624a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Activity Center • The same data from
quick poll can be collected in the activity center and disseminated back out to the class via a list (existing activity lists).
• 0 means “not at all” and 1000 means “very important”.

Sources for data for TI-Navigator examples
• Consider RSS Feeds• Really SSimple SSyndications• Used for frequently updated info• Good for news!• Also for updated statistics• Think of filtered updates• You need an aggregator or feed reader to read these• Can be web-based or on the desktop-based
