NWO Announces a New STEM Innovation Inquiry Series Coming this Summer!
Leveraging the TI-84 Plus CE Graphing Calculator for ACT® Test Success
This workshop is designed for mathematics educators who want to learn to leverage TI-84 Plus CE technology skills to drive student success on the ACT® test by exploring released test items. Educators will cover the main elements of the ACT® test, discuss strategies for helping students to better understand key topics, and emphasize techniques for teaching with TI-84 Plus CE technology.
By the end of the workshop, participants should feel comfortable with:
- Leveraging the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator for exam questions in key categories such as Number & Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Geometry, and Statistics & Probability
- Highlighting the key content areas on the ACT® test and adjusting mathematics instruction accordingly
- Implementing test preparation strategies in the mathematics classroom and using pre-made activities that reinforce technology skills and deepen student understanding of key topics
