In this session, participants will be shown how to use the
functionality of the TI-Nspire™ CX CAS technology and the
versatility of the Notes Application to create an amazing easy
to use resource known as a Widget. Teachers and students can
use Widgets to explore and help understand mathematical
concepts and principles. Students can easily pre-prepare
their own Widgets to efficiently solve typical exam questions.
There will be a discussion about Widget construction and
content, and participants will learn how to build and save their
own Widgets. Participants will be provided with a number
of Widgets to add to their ‘MyWidgets’ folder on the TINspire™ CX or CX II CAS Calculator. This session will open
up possibilities in all areas of the mathematics curriculum
including VCE General Mathematics, Mathematical
