Pre-service and in-service teachers

When computer lab space is limited or unavailable, an alternative to

Cabri or The Geometer’s Sketchpad is needed to help pre-service and

in-service teachers develop conceptual understanding of basic

geometric concepts. Cabri Jr and Transformation Graphing Apps

provide dynamic learning environments on the TI-84 Plus that

students can hold in their hands wherever they are located while

simultaneously facilitating increased guided discovery

opportunities. This workshop will engage participants in a hands-on

introduction to the capabilities of Cabri Jr and Transformation

Graphing Apps and will incorporate engaging activities appropriate

for investigating and assessing varied geometric concepts.

Opportunities for participants to gain basic proficiency with the

applications and to discuss their reactions will be provided.

Calculators will be supplied for participant use.
