Bøger i Sketchpad Activity Modules serien

This book guides learners through a variety of proofs and applications of the Pythagorean theorem, which has fascinated amateur and professional mathematicians from U.S. President James Garfield to Hindu mathematician Bhaskara since the beginning of recorded history.

This collection of Sketchpad activities allows students to explore concepts and develop skills related to: - scatter plots, function graphs, tables, and equations- rate and slope scale models- areas of similar shapes

Through these Sketchpad activities, students explore content from the domain of geometry and develop skills related to: - isosceles and right triangles- the Pythagorean theorem- translations, rotations, and reflections- areas of parallelograms, triangles, trapezoids, circles, and regular polygons- spatial visualization and three-dimensional models

This collection of Sketchpad activities enriches your students' study of calculus, empowering them to directly experience the dynamic, geometric nature of calculus in a hands-on format. Students' understanding will deepen as they: dynamically control the number of subintervals in a partition and see the area measurement change instantaneouslyexplore the relationship between the graphs of an equation, its derivative, and its second derivative as the original equation changesnvestigate changes of position and velocity, leading to an exploration of rates of change and limits at infinity.

This collection of Sketchpad activities gives students the opportunity to explore content from the domain of expressions and equations, as well as functions (Grade 8). Students explore concepts and develop skills related to: - equivalent expressions- positive and negative exponents- inputs, outputs, and linear and non-linear functions- time-distance graphs and time-speed graphs- quadratic functions

The Sketchpad activities in this collection give students the opportunity to directly experience, through dynamic visualization and manipulation, the topics covered in Precalculus. Students: - transform functions dynamically- view and modify entire families of functions--polynomial, exponential, logistic, and more- build parametric functions, and manipulate vectors and matrices- discover the relationship between rectangular and polar coordinates- make complex numbers come alive on the coordinate plane- finish with a dynamic, visual introduction to the main concepts of calculus.

This collection of Sketchpad activities is an excellent introduction to Sketchpad for both students and teachers, and gives students the opportunity to explore concepts in the Common Core State Standards for grades 3-5 from the domains of- operations and algebraic thinking- number and operations in base ten- number and operations--fractions

Dynamic Geometry(R) software enriches the study of high school geometry, and its use is recommended in the Common Core State Standards. This collection of Sketchpad activities is aligned to the High School Geometry Common Core State Standards, and covers virtually every concept studied in high school geometry. The activities will help your students visualize geometry concepts, make and test conjectures and justify their conclusions, and deeply explore content related to: - constructing geometric figures- transformations and tessellations- areas of polygons and circles- introductory trigonometry- modeling with mathematics

This collection of Sketchpad activities builds upon the strengths of dynamic mathematical representations to enrich the study of first-year algebra, covering such topics as: - ratios and exponents- algebraic expressions- solving equations and inequalities- coordinates, slope, and distance- variation and linear equations

This collection of Sketchpad activities is an excellent introduction to Sketchpad for both students and teachers, and gives students the opportunity to explore concepts in the Common Core State Standards for grades 3-5 from the domains of- operations and algebraic thinking- number and operations in base ten- number and operations--fractions
