Stone, Bronze, Iron, cement and silicon ages defined past centuries, the 21st century may well be defined as the Data age. Statisticians are now called Data Scientists, not surprisingly when 90% of the world’s data has been collected in the past two years. Probability and statistics are not the same thing, they are related, but much more circuitously than algebra and calculus. The sample mean is a statistic, the population mean is not. Statistics are based on observations, population parameters are philosophical abstractions often used to compute the plausibility of a future event. Statistics like the sample mean however are often used to estimate population parameters; the fidelity of estimate depends on the number of observations used to compute the statistic. This webinar will use the TI-Nspire Teacher software to help unravel these two nucleotides that are shaping the growth and development of the 21st Century.

No time for reflection or to debrief on the positives and negatives of 2017, there are students waiting! To help relieve the pressure, we created a series of extended investigations that should keep your students engaged to the very end of the year. The resources are self- directed tasks so that students can work at their own pace leaving you free to … help them. By the way, we’ve even prepared the answers for you. So invest an hour with us on this webinar so we can help cut down your preparation time.

We know it’s a busy time of year. Senior students are doing their exams. Teachers are marking exams and writing reports. Meanwhile, you now have a whole bunch of new classes as students transition up a year level. We can’t mark your exams or write your reports. We certainly can’t sit the exams either. We can provide you with a bunch of getting started resources that will save you time and engage your students as they come through the week or so of transition classes. The resources are self- directed tasks so that students can work at their own pace leaving you free to … help them. By the way, we’ve even prepared the answers for you. So invest an hour with us on this webinar so that we can help cut down your preparation time and perhaps learn a few cool things along the way that you and your students can do with TI-Nspire.

We will look back at the first year of the Stage 2 SACE accredited Mathematical Methods course and the external examination. We will discuss what we, as teachers, and our students have experienced and learnt over the year.
The 2017 SACE Subject Outline states that students need to develop "informed decisions about the use of electronic technology" and "extend their skills in using (such) technology". So, how can the TI-84 be used to achieve this and address the 30 "electronic technology" comments made in the course subtopics?
In this webinar we will focus on these and look at various aspects of calculus and statistics, highlighting where the TI-84 can be used to strengthen teachers explanation of key skills and deepen students understanding.
There will also be an opportunity for attendees to have their questions answered.

Discrete and Continuous distributions applicable to Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics will be covered in this webinar. Measures of central tendency and spread for both discrete and continuous distributions will be explored. See how to efficiently and effectively use the TI-84Plus CE, TI-Nspire CX and TI-Nspire CX CAS for a range of probability calculations.

Data is most traditionally associated with statistics; however it can help bring many areas of mathematics to life, framing a context, building algebraic understanding or validating senior level calculus applications. The wealth of data sources, accessibility and digital classroom tools make data an essential resource that can help students see the relevance and importance of mathematics, “Cognition is situated in context” [Sierpinska 1995].

In Episode 1 Goats were gobbling and cups were emptied and filled, in Episode 2 we weathered through some hail stones and consumed some pi. In this episode we will reach new altitudes providing students with the opportunity to explore with model cars and paper folding. Our model car problem involves minimising the time taken to travel a set distance where a ramp is used to generate the car’s speed. Can we reduce the time taken by changing the shape of the ramp? Our second problem starts with some simple paper folding that leads into a lovely linear graphs problem. So if you are looking for some great problems to get your student’s dendrites firing, join us for Problems worth Exploring – Episode 3.

In 1742 Christian Goldbach wrote a letter to Leonhard Euler which included the conjecture: “Every integer greater than 2 can be written as the sum of three primes.” (At the time 1 was considered prime). Euler replied noting that “Every even integer can be written as the sum of two primes.” This delightful correspondence between these mathematicians has never been proven. With only minor changes the conjectures remain true without the necessity to use the number 1 as prime. Searching for prime numbers can be exhaustive and repetitive so it is an ideal candidate for coding and makes the problem accessible and worthy of exploration for students at a range of year levels with or without any prior coding experience. This and other interesting problems will be explored in this webinar: “Problems worth Coding”.
