About the Teacher Guide How the Teacher Guide is Organized This guide consists of two sections: Activities and How to Use the TI-34 Û. The Activities section is a collection of activities for integrating the TI-34 Û into mathematics instruction. How To Use the TI-34 Û is designed to help you teach students how to use the calculator. Activities The activities are designed to be teacherdirected. They are intended to help develop mathematical concepts while incorporating the TI-34 Û as a teaching tool. Each activity is self-contained and includes the following: • An overview of the mathematical purpose of the activity. • The mathematical concepts being developed. • The materials needed to perform the activity. • The detailed procedure, including step-bystep TI-34 Û key presses. • A student activity sheet. How to Use the TI.34 Ü This section contains examples on transparency masters. Chapters are numbered and include the following: • An introductory page describing the calculator keys presented in the example, the location of those keys on the TI-34 Û, and any pertinent notes about their functions. • Transparency masters following the introductory page provide examples of practical applications of the key(s) being discussed. The key(s) being discussed are shown in black on the TI-34 Û keyboard. © 1999 TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED Things to Keep in Mind • While many of the examples on the transparency masters may be used to develop mathematical concepts, they were not designed specifically for that purpose. • For maximum flexibility, each example and activity is independent of the others. Select the transparency master appropriate for the key you are teaching, or select the activity appropriate for the mathematical concept you are teaching. • If an example does not seem appropriate for your curriculum or grade level, use it to teach the function of a key (or keys), and then provide examples of your own. • To ensure that everyone starts at the same point, have students reset the calculator by pressing & and simultaneously or by pressing % , selecting Y (yes), and then pressing

About the Teacher Guide
±
How the Teacher Guide is Organized
This guide consists of two sections:
Activities
and
How to Use the TI
-
34
Û
. The
Activities
section is a collection of activities for
integrating the TI
-
34
Û
into mathematics
instruction.
How To Use the TI
-
34
Û
is
designed to help you teach students how to
use the calculator.
Activities
The activities are designed to be teacher-
directed. They are intended to help develop
mathematical concepts while incorporating
the TI
-
34
Û
as a teaching tool. Each activity
is self-contained and includes the following:
•
An overview of the mathematical purpose
of the activity.
•
The mathematical concepts being
developed.
•
The materials needed to perform the
activity.
•
The detailed procedure, including step-by-
step TI
-
34
Û
key presses.
•
A student activity sheet.
How to Use the TI
.
34
Ü
This section contains examples on
transparency masters. Chapters are
numbered and include the following:
•
An introductory page describing the
calculator keys presented in the example,
the location of those keys on the
TI
-
34
Û
, and any pertinent notes about
their functions.
•
Transparency masters following the
introductory page provide examples of
practical applications of the key(s) being
discussed. The key(s) being discussed are
shown in black on the TI
-
34
Û
keyboard.
Things to Keep in Mind
•
While many of the examples on the
transparency masters may be used to
develop mathematical concepts, they
were not designed specifically for that
purpose.
•
For maximum flexibility, each example and
activity is independent of the others.
Select the transparency master
appropriate for the key you are teaching,
or select the activity appropriate for the
mathematical concept you are teaching.
•
If an example does not seem appropriate
for your curriculum or grade level, use it
to teach the function of a key (or keys),
and then provide examples of your own.
•
To ensure that everyone starts at the
same point, have students reset the
calculator by pressing
&
and
-
simultaneously or by pressing
%
±
,
selecting
Y
(yes), and then pressing
<
.
Conventions Used in this Guide
•
In the text, brackets [ ] around a key’s
symbol indicate that the key is a second,
or alternate, function.
For example:
b
•
On the transparency masters, second
functions are shown as they appear on
the TI
-
34
Û
keyboard.
