OUR NEWEST ADDITIONS

SUMMER WORKSHOP-JULY 13,14,15 2011

Pre-Calculus Transformed-2 PLU. Pre-Calculus Transformed highlights the under-explored role of non-standard transformations and function composition in learning algebra and pre-calculus concepts. Families of functions are identified first by immutable distinguishing characteristics and then modified through multiple representations & transformations. Participants will discover that many historically complicated pre-calculus problems and concepts are both richer and greatly simplified in this process. The course integrates computer algebra system (CAS) technology, but it is certainly possible to use and grasp its concepts without this technology. Potential topics include expanded transformations, polynomials, rational functions, exponentials, logistics, and trigonometric functions. Additional topics may be explored depending on time and participant needs or experience. Textbook is included in the workshop price. Appropriate for Algebra II, Pre-calculus, and calculus teachers at the high school or junior college level. Instructors: Dr. Chris Harrow and Nurfatimah Merchant, The Westminster Schools. July 13, 14, 15, from 8-3 p.m. Fee $400. This information and the registration can be found online at: http://www.westminster.net/center-for-teaching/programs/summer-institute/index.aspx

PreCalculus Transformed Extending Transformations to Explore PreCalculus

Pre-Calculus Transformed highlights the under-explored role of transformations in visualizing, interpreting, and understanding pre-calculus concepts.
