By Rachel Newman-Turner and Robert Goodman

Fully compatible with the TI-84 Plus Family.

This collection of activities is intended to provide middle and high school Algebra I students with a set of data collection investigations that integrate mathematics and science and promote mathematical understanding. The use of the TI-83 Plus is an integral part of each activity. The activities are designed to be used in a mathematics classroom and require a minimum of equipment, setup, and materials. They are well suited to environments where collaborative teams of mathematics and science teachers plan interdisciplinary lessons.
