Algebra Nspirations: Main Objectives
Model the teaching and learning of algebra in the technological world of the 21st Century;
Integrate TI-Nspire handheld technology in the algebraic problem presentation as well as in the problem solutions;
Connect the topics of algebra—in meaningful ways—to the world in which students live;
Showcase the dynamic new TI-Nspire Technology
Algebra Nspirations: Rationale (based on algebra research)
Algebra, the perennial gatekeeper : algebra is viewed as the "filter" course for future success in college (e.g. TCB)
The importance of teaching the multiple representations of algebra: words, equations, numbers and graphs
The Importance of Real-World Connections
A Strong Partner of MATH FORWARD
