Rotations, Dilations, Transformations, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Area
Relationships, Chords, Secants, and Tangents, and Circles.
Focus
The primary
focus of this course is to learn to use the TI-83 and TI-84 family of graphing
calculators and Cabri Jr. to enhance the teaching and learning of geometry.
This
course contains 27 learning modules written by experienced teachers. These 27 modules cover geometry principals, theorems,
properties, and phenomena using the Cabri Jr. App for the TI-83/84 Plus graphing
calculators.
Each module has 2-4 lessons as well as tips and hints on integrating the
graphing calculator into your lessons plans. Each lesson contains constructions and explorations. You will
