H27 BUILDING NSPIRATIONS
(COMMERCIAL PRESENTATION)
Subtheme: Technology
Peter Fox, Texas Instruments
(Year 9 to Year 12)
Are you ready to elevate your TI-Nspire skills and create
captivating educational content? In this hands-on workshop,
you will learn some of the secrets behind creating interactive,
engaging, and dynamic TI-Nspire documents. This session
is not for the faint hearted, we will be creating animations,
dynamic diagrams that allow you to automatically capture
data and much more. Get ready to transform student learning
experiences. Bring your laptop with the teacher software
installed and join in on this unforgettable journey!
Collaboration amongst attendees will occur in this session,
and attendees are encouraged to come with ideas to share.
TI-Nspire will be used in the workshop. Attendees are
encouraged to bring their own CAS device.
Key takeaways:
1. Ideas for designing and implementing a mathematical
investigation.
2. Learning how TI-Nspire CAS can be leveraged to facilitate
investigation.
Remember: Participants are encouraged to bring their own
CAS device. Spare TI-Nspire CAS handheld calculators will
be available to borrow during the workshop.
Key takeaways:
1.Create your own interactive digital content.
2. Improve your TI-Nspire skills.
3. See how to increase student engagement and
understanding.
Remember: Laptop. Content will work on student calculators,
but is easier to create on a computer.
FULL H28 DESIGNING MATHEMATICAL
INVESTIGATIONS FOR UPPER SECONDARY
Subtheme: Pedagogy
James Mott, Southern Cross Grammar
(Year 9 to Year 12)
The VCE Mathematics study design for the 20232027 accreditation period stipulates that mathematical
investigations are to be incorporated within Unit 1 and
2 Mathematical Methods, which will require students to
utilise technology to engage in exploration, conjecture and
generalise results. Additionally, the Australian Curriculum
9.0 states that students, by the end of Year 10, should
‘experiment with functions and relations, using digital tools,
making and testing conjectures and generalising emerging
patterns’. In this session, attendees will be exposed to
strategies for designing mathematical investigations to
support generalisation within Year 10 and Unit 1 and 2
Mathematical Methods. Attendees will explore sample
‘starting points’ and discuss how such tasks could be adapted
to suit their school context.
