Learning to Code With the TI-84 Plus Family of Graphing Calculators
June 25, 2019 | 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.
This workshop is designed for educators interested in introducing coding to their students using the TI family of graphing calculators. Building upon the lessons from TI’s 10 Minutes of Code, the workshop introduces the basics of coding principles including logic, selection statements and loops. A focus will be on coding topics which will reinforce student understanding of math and science curriculum concepts. Participants will be comfortable using TI-Basic and transferrable skills to move to the next stage in coding.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be comfortable with:
- Starting a new program, writing a program to display text, and running the program
- Using variables to hold values and store results in those variables
- Showing the results of stored computations
- Writing statements using If and conditions
- Using compound conditions with the relational and the logical operators
- Determining errors in a program
Learning to Code With the TI-Innovator™ Hub
June 26, 2019 | 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.
This workshop is designed for educators interested in learning more about coding using the TI-Innovator™ Hub with TI-LaunchPad™ Board to further engage students in coding and STEM applications. Building upon the lessons from TI’s 10 Minutes of Code for the TI-Innovator™ Hub, the workshop shows participants how to control the Hub and the built-in light and sound sensors. The coding applications covered will be connected to concepts in math and science.
By the end of the workshop, participants should be comfortable:
- Writing programs that control input and output commands on the Hub using the TI graphing calculator Program Editor
- Using variables in a program
- Using syntax to input numbers into a program
- Exploring other coding techniques such as using lists
- Applying what they have learned to create their own activities
Implementing TI-Innovator™ Rover in the Mathematics Classroom
June 27, 2019 | 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.
This workshop is designed for educators interested in learning applications using the TI-Innovator™ Rover to further engage students in understanding content. Building upon the Getting Started With TI-Innovator Rover workshop, participants will explore various projects that allow them to apply directly to objectives in the mathematics classroom and make connections across key concepts. We will use Rover with either TI-84 Plus CE or TI-Nspire™ CX technology.
