Here are some new buttons found here and at the bottom of the page. They link to work we did in the past.

• Quick comments on what we did last time.
• Use spreadsheets to construct and answer test questions and examine digital manipulatives.
• Do a little precalc, algebra, and perhaps a little statistics.
• End with a kinesthetic exercise.

    *If you wish to compute, solve, plot or graph, factor, create a truth table, show work or do all sorts of other stuff, wolframalpha is for you.

    Check out other things wolframalpha can do. .

    Now that we've played with the compute spreadsheet, you will work alone and then you will share your work.

    You do it all the time while teaching -- write a quiz, write a test, even write notes that summarize an idea or problem. Now do it using the compute spreadsheet, other spreadsheets, or the CAS.

1. Get in a group of 3 or 4 perhaps with others that teach the same course(s) that you do.
2. Use technology introduced on this page to write a problem that you might be able to give students while teaching or testing. Use an non EVALUATE or SYNTHESIZE verb.

3. Be sure to include the answer with the question.
4. If others in your group are not done, write another question and answer.
5. Verbally share you question with your group and permit them to make suggestions or ask questions about your question. Be sure to:
   • State the course in which the question is used.
   • State the topics which have already been covered in the course.
   • State the situation in which the question is given -- during lecture, on quiz, on test, on other assignment.
   • State which technology you used to write the question/answer.
6. Write a new question on your original course, topic, situation so it includes a verbs in the EVALUATE or SYNTHESIZE groups on the Assessment Inventory.
7. Share the new questions with your group including the list from step 5.
8. HOW IT IS TIME TO SHOW OFF. Select one person to share their questions with the entire class by projecting the questions on the screen.
9. Discuss your questions with the entire group.
10. Select, in turn, other people to share their questions with the group and then have the group discuss the work.
