TI-nspire
A correspondent asks whether I plan on posting TI-nspire activities on my site.I certainly don't rule it out. I have a TI-nspire CAS, which I intend to explore as a possible standard for my school. (We've been using the TI-89.) As I learn how to use it, I may well translate some of my TI-83-84-89… Continue reading TI-nspire

Abstract Algebra
Not long ago, I received some advertising for class sets of Rubik's cubes, which are sold along with a solving method. Soon afterwards, a correspondent wrote:I see on your website that you have done some work with kids on Rubik's cubes and group theory. I have purchased a class room sets of the Rubik's Cubes… Continue reading Abstract Algebra
Complex Numbers
I added the core of a unit on complex numbers to the Algebra 2 page.Like some other materials I've written over the years for my students at the Urban School of SF, these lessons were inspired by the pioneering work of Stein, Crabill, and Chakerian (see their out-of-print Algebra II/Trig book.)From the intro to the… Continue reading Complex Numbers
