            When computer lab space is limited or unavailable, an alternative to

            Cabri or The Geometer’s Sketchpad is needed to help pre-service and

            in-service teachers develop conceptual understanding of basic

            geometric concepts. Cabri Jr and Transformation Graphing Apps

            provide dynamic learning environments on the TI-84 Plus that

            students can hold in their hands wherever they are located while

            simultaneously facilitating increased guided discovery

            opportunities. This workshop will engage participants in a hands-on

            introduction to the capabilities of Cabri Jr and Transformation

            Graphing Apps and will incorporate engaging activities appropriate

            for investigating and assessing varied geometric concepts.

            Opportunities for participants to gain basic proficiency with the

            applications and to discuss their reactions will be provided.

            Calculators will be supplied for participant use.
