Kickstart AP® Precalculus: Fresh Strategies for Exploring Polynomials and Rates of Change
When: Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024 | 7 p.m. Central time
Technology: TI-84 Plus Series, TI‑Nspire™ Series
Presenters: Rachael Gorsuch, Katie Martinez
With a new year starting in AP® Precalculus, now is the perfect time to explore new activities and skills to help support your students through the first half of Unit 1: Polynomial Functions.
During this webinar, you will:
Learn how to incorporate TI technology to enable your students to understand rates of change, how rates of change determine intervals where functions are increasing or decreasing, and how the concavity of a function is determined by the change in the rates of change.
Explore an activity that has students create a polynomial model, and use the model to answer a larger question.
Interact with a lesson that will help students understand the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.
Look at strategies for incorporating technology into your lessons to help students visualize mathematics.
