1. Welcome to the Pre-Calculus 20 Workshop! Friday, September 16 th, 2011

2. Today’s Workshop Goals  To become more familiar with the curriculum outcomes and indicators connected to Chapters 2, 3, 4  To try some of the “investigate” and “mini- lab” activities that support the curriculum outcomes and inquiry based approach  To network with other teachers in the division that are teaching the course – share ideas, resources, etc

3. Today’s Plan  Teacher Talk  Resource & Technology Update  Chapter 2  Break  Chapter 3  Chapter 4  Questions  Feedback
