Good morning and welcomeApologies for my lousy Powerpoint skillsMany thanks to TI for:Supporting this conferenceMaking this fantastic technologyMaking the last 20 years of my life so much fun!And it still gets better.... And thanks to you for coming along.
I guess we know, and are still learning, what TI-Nspire Technology is?
But what do you understand by STEM?
And why should it be integrated? (Hint: State of the Union)
Not: STEM – but maybe SMarT
Our countries need SMarT schools and teachers
I’ll take examples from schools developing cross-curricular cooperation to make the subjects more joined-up and engaging for all.
Sports and Toys for Enjoyment & Motivation
Format of today’s session:
First: plug the books!
Second: the links are on the handoutbut e-mail me if you want a copy with live [email protected]
Third: there will be some data-logging, video capture and geometry using both TI-Nspire and some other technologies.
Ready to go?
A mental startera) 9.8, 9.8, 9.8, 9.8, .., .., ..,b) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .., .., ..,c) 1, 4, 9, 15, 25, .., .., ..,d) 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, .., .., ..,e) 1, ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16, .., .., ..,
In each case predict the next 3 values, sketch a graph, use a name to describe the process, think of an experiment which might give data like this.
How fast did Sophie go?
Guess where?
Can you estimate the date of the photos – and the speed of the Jag?

Digital camera at 210 fps
You could estimate speeds by single-stepping frames e.g. In Media Player

Enough information to estimate coefficient of friction!
