1. Integrating STEM with TI-Nspire Technology Adrian Oldknow The Mathematical Association aoldknow@yahoo.co.uk http://www.facebook.com/HPCatalyst

2. Good morning and welcome Apologies for my lousy Powerpoint skills Many thanks to TI for: Supporting this conference Making this fantastic technology Making the last 20 years of my life so much fun! And it still gets better.... And thanks to you for coming along.

3. 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: S TE M – but maybe SMarT Our countries need SMarT schools and teachers

4. 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

5. Format of today’s session: First: plug the books! Second: the links are on the handout but e-mail me if you want a copy with live links aoldknow@yahoo.co.uk Third: there will be some data-logging, video capture and geometry using both TI-Nspire and some other technologies. Ready to go?

7. A mental starter a)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.

8. How fast did Sophie go?

9. Guess where?

10. Can you estimate the date of the photos – and the speed of the Jag?

11. CUT 7 http://www.jagweb.com/jaguarmodelclub/cut7.htm Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Competition Coupe Sold £295,625 - Feb 2005 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_E-Type Length = 4.7 m. Low-drag Mk1 concept – Lord Cowdray

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

14. A video clip analysed in Tracker

15. Sophie in the snow: SSR Enough information to estimate coefficient of friction!

16. Sophie’s run modelled in TI-Nspire

17. GPS sensor in Logger Pro Where was I and what was my journey?

18. Output to Google maps

19. Motion detector CBR2 http://www.teachers.tv/videos/ks3-ks4-maths-new- maths-technology-in-the-classroom http://www.teachers.tv/videos/ks3-ks4-maths-new- maths-technology-in-the-classroom

20. Logger Pro’s triggered data logging, synchronised with video capture

21. So what can TI-Nspire CX do? That’s just a glimpse of PublishView for you!

22. The parabola – why? Problem Picture – Richard Phillips: http://www.badseypublications.co.uk/

23. Working with images – TI-Nspire CX

24. How a telescope works And a torch, too!

25. Teachers TV Hard to Teach - quadratics http://www.teachers.tv/videos/quadratic-equations http://www.teachers.tv/videos/quadratic-equations TDA used the idea for recruitment posters on the London underground and buses.

26. What sorts of motion here?

28. Exploring half-life with TI-Nspire CX

30. STEM is fun and it is all our future
