Students need to be able to
experiment with real data in order to
learn the
power of statistics as well as experience multiple ways to
apply
probability. The TI-84 is an effective tool to help students
and
teachers in the classroom. This workshop will engage
participants
in a hands-on use of the Probability Apps and the
statistical
applications that are preloaded on all TI-84
calculators.
Participants will be able to participate in motivating
activities
appropriate for investigating and assessing data
concepts.
Many times teachers bypass real data or creating their own
data in order
to faster access material. Using technology allows
teachers
and students to quickly interpret and apply mathematics to
make
decisions. Participants will be encouraged to discuss the
applications
while becoming proficient with these applications.
Calculators will be supplied.
