Real-World Math with Vernier

Recommended for High School.

Real-World Math with Vernier: Connecting Math and Science contains 32 activities that explore real-world mathematical applications of concepts from algebra through calculus.

Description

Real-World Math with Vernier includes 32 activities covering concepts such as linear, quadratic, and periodic functions, statistics, systems of equations, and many more. The activities found in the printed book are written for use with TI-Nspire™ technology.

The book includes a CD with editable Word files for all the activities in the book. The CD also contains versions of the activities for EasyData, DataMate, and Logger Pro.

Real-World Math with Vernier is a revision and compilation of the earlier Texas Instruments publications Real-World Math with the CBL 2 and LabPro and Real-World Math Made Easy, and the Vernier publication Real-World Math with Computers.

Included with Real-World Math with Vernier

Complete student activities with materials list, step-by-step instructions, data tables, and questions.
Teacher Information section for each activity with complete directions for setting up activities, helpful tips, and sample graphs and data.
Word-processing files for each student activity on CD so that any activity may be easily edited to your specifications (Microsoft Word format).

Features listed above are only available when you purchase the lab book. The downloadable evaluation PDFs include student instructions only.
