Description:

How can we encourage students to extend their knowledge in Algebra 2, Pre Calculus, and Calculus? The TI-89 can be used to not only connect ideas, but more importantly to foster more in-depth understanding. We will begin by discussing Algebra topics, such as using functional notation, expanding and factoring expressions, and solving equations and inequalities. Various graphing techniques will be discussed, such as transferring points from a graph to the home screen, auto scaling, graphing piecewise functions (using Boolean Algebra), graphing a composition of functions, and drawing horizontal lines, vertical lines, and inverses. Our topics will conclude with discussion of Calculus, such as limits, average rate of change, derivatives (algebraically and graphically), finding the equation of a tangent line to a curve, Riemann sums, integrals, implicit differentiation, solving differential equations, and slope fields.
