For the past week we have been focusing on the 2D/3D graphing functionality of the TI-Nspire CAS CX and the 3D graphing of Geogebra.  One thing that I didn’t know before that I learned this week was that Geogebra is able to not only graph 3 dimensional shapes, but also calculate the surface area andContinue reading “3-D and Graphing Technologies”

The past couple weeks, while in quarantine, our class has been exploring the Computer Algebra System (CAS) functionality of the TI-Nspire CAS CX and Geogebra.  While Geogebra is a program we have been using throughout the semester, the TI-Nspire CAS CX is a device I had no previous experience with before we started this unit. Continue reading “CAS Functionality”

Before spring break, our class explored the graphing applications of Geometer’s Sketchpad, Desmos, and Geogebra.  Of the three, I would say Geogebra was the easiest to work with since it had step by step instructions on how to use the functionalities of the program.  GSP (Geometer’s Sketchpad) allowed the user to construct any sort ofContinue reading “Geometry Technologies”

            For the past week we have been working more with the TI-84 and its functionalities specifically with the MATH menu and matrices.  I learned of many of the calculator’s capabilities such as finding the least common multiple of two numbers, how to find the reduced row echelon form for a matrix, and how toContinue reading “Other TI-83/84 Calculator Features”

The last couple weeks we have been working through the list and statistics capabilities of the TI-84 and desmos.  Going into this unit I knew about the list and stats capabilities on my calculator, but not on desmos.  I learned that you can copy and paste data from excel onto desmos and use all sortsContinue reading “Lists and Statistics”

After exploring further with the graphing capabilities of the TI-84, desmos, and geogebra, I have learned many features I did not know previously.  On the TI-84, I learned how to split the screen so it can include a graph and a table simultaneously.  This will prove useful when teaching because I can show my dataContinue reading “What I learned about Desmos, Geogebra, and the TI-84 Calculator”

On a tech-savviness scale I would probably rate myself a 7 out of 10.  I can usually figure out how a specific gadget or program works if you give me enough time.  Going into this class I have had a fair amount of experience with the ti84 calculator, very limited exposure to Desmos, Geogebra, Geometer’sContinue reading “Self-Assessment of Tech-Savviness”
