Incorporating the Graphing Calculator into the Mathematics Classroom

将举办十个为期一天的工作坊，以促进图形计算器在本科数学课程中的立即和广泛使用。这个项目将为250名本科生数学教师提供(1)计算器机械原理的详细培训，(2)如何在特定课程中使用计算器的想法，(3)为这些课程开发教学材料的机会，以及(4)与同事分享他们的经验的机会。四人项目小组将访问10个社区大学校区，为感兴趣的两年制和四年制大学数学教师举办这些研讨会。每位参与者将获得一台TI-81图形计算器，每个机构将获得一套计算机投影仪套件，以鼓励教师不断探索图形计算器在数学教学中的潜在用途。项目主任将创建、编辑和发布一份时事通讯，并安排三次后续会议，以便参与的教职员工可以分享他们的经验。

Ten one day workshops will be presented to promote the immediate and widespread use of graphing calculators into the undergraduate mathematics curriculum. This project will provide 250 undergraduate math faculty with (1) detailed training on the mechanics of the calculator, (2) ideas as to how the calculator can be used in specific courses, (3) the opportunity to develop instructional materials for those courses, and (4) the opportunity to share their experiences with colleagues. The four member project team will visit 10 community college campuses to give these workshops to interested two- and four-year college mathematics faculty. Each participant will receive a TI-81 graphing calculator and each institution a calculator projector kit to encourage instructors to continually explore potential uses of graphing calculators in mathematics instruction. The project director will create, edit, and publish a newsletter, and three follow- up meetings are scheduled so that participating faculty can share their experiences.
