GREEN GLOBS AND GRAPHING EQUATIONS
Tuesdays and Thursdays in June … June 6-29 … 8 total classes
Class Time: 2-3:00
Supplies: Must have a laptop computer
Cost: $160 total … paid in advance.
Course Description: Green Globs is a graphing program which has been around since the mid 80’s. I will supply a copy of the software. The Green Globs program contains 2 different graphing games with 2 different levels of difficulty and an area to practice your skills writing algebraic and trigonometric equations. This software actually helps students see how changing a sign or an exponent in an equation can affect the graph of that equation. Green Globs is a very hands-on and fun way to learn the graphing skills needed to be successful in Algebra I and Algebra II and Trig/Pre-Calculus.
Basic knowledge of how to work a laptop computer is all that is needed.

GEOMETRY on the TI-84 SE Graphing Calculator
Tuesdays and Thursdays in June …. June 6-29 … 8 total classes
Class Time: 3-4:00
Supplies: Must have a TI-84 Silver Edition Graphing Calculator
Cost: $160 Total … paid in advance.
Course Description: Texas Instruments has written a series of programs to make Geometry a more interactive course. Their TI-84 SE calculator has the ability to graph triangles and circles and various other geometric figures and manipulate these figures in order to better understand Geometry Concepts. Most geometry courses do not have the time to work with these hands-on type activities. (Nor do they have access to TI-84 SE calculators!) I plan to make this course a fun “exploration” of Geometry and its concepts.
