Calculator Workshop for Teachers
Recently Held at UNCP
Pembroke?Students inarca high
schools may soon give up pencil and
paper to solve math problems and
turn to computers The second annual
calculator workshop for teachers
was held from July 7-11 at the
University of North Carolina at Pembroke
Eight high-school teachers and
one UNCP teacher look part in the
4o-hour course designed, to help
teachers introduce graphics calculator-based
laboratories (CBL) into
college and college prep classes.
Dr Leonard Casciolti and Dr
Don Bckcn both of UNCP coordinated
the class with Ohio State and
Texas Instruments They invited
teachers from each school in the
region to take part in the program,
"This is becoming such an important
aspect of the professional world
that the students from this region
will not be able to compete for jobs if
they cannot manipulate a computer
especially the small graphics and the
CBl.s." Casciotti said
The high school teachers carnc
from Cumberland and Robeson countics
along with South Carolina
schools. Instructor Stuart Moskowit/,
of Humboldt Stale University in California.
was recruited by Ohio State
University through the Teachers
Teaching withTechnology program
"The students didvery well."
Moskowitz said. "They get here early
and leave late every day, 1 had to tell
then) to take a break, or to go home
when class was o\er"
This course marked the second
\car that UNCP has worked with
Ohio Stale to oiler graphics calculator
courses for teachers
Linda Hafer. a UNCP math teacher
said. "This is an exciting tool that we
hop will make students w ant to learn
It takes math out of the text book
where the student is able to see the
problem, the equation and the answer"
The students learned how to graph
the rale at which cofTce cools using
the Texas Instruments XI graphics
calculators and a CBL. which is a
device that can measure changes in
barometric pressure, temperature,
altitude, and light The) also learned
how to w rite a scries of equal ions that
allows them to graph their findings
"Wc are no longer restricted b>
what weean do with pencil and paper
and the problems ha\c more meaning."
Stuart said "Now weean teach
students not what buttons to push,
but what methods to use- like how to "
draw with math programs, how to
dow nload information olT of a computer
dircctlx into a graphics calculator
and graph the answers "
The Texas Instruments XI calculator
is a cutting edge tool for students
and professionals Texas instruments
