Adventure Therapy: Theory, Research, and Practice

Description

This book is designed to help teachers implement the power of TI-
spire in the teaching of Algebra I. Keying sequences are provided to help students acquire the concepts of elementary algebra in a step-by-step fashion, while progressing smoothly through the menus of this exciting new technology. Worked examples and comprehensive sets of exercises with complete solutions are provided. Screen displays on the page enable students to connect their work on the handheld or on the computer screen to the examples in the text.
Both the pedagogy and content have been developed to implement the underlying philosophies articulated by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
