Abstract

Can we combine CAS and Geometry to help our students learn Algebra? Can we use dynamic Geometry to increase understanding? In this workshop, we will begin by introducing you to a few basic skills needed to use the ClassPad 300. Next, you will learn how to use the ClassPad 300?s CAS system and Geometry application to view Algebra from a different angle. We will also explore how to animate geometric figures to increase understanding and encourage exploration. No experience necessary! Attend to learn and have fun.
