spirit strengthen us to carry on and support one another to the end of this
school year. Thank you for the blessing of the Dufferein-Peel
community. We pray all things in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Modeling on background image
Exact values and linking in Graphs and Geometry
applications (can use multiples of π)
Improved math results in CAS platform
3D Graphing
Images jpg, bmp, png or clipboard
• Background Image – Graphs, Geometry, Data & Statistics• Inline with text – Questions, Notes
Modeling on Background Image
• AlgebraImprovements to simplification, solving equations, inequalities and systems of equations
• CalculusImprovements to series, limits, integrals, derivatives and differential equations. Calculations with Piecewise Functions. Calculations in Approximate Mode.
• Graph & GeometryExact arithmetic improvements: pi on tic marks, window settings, coordinates; fractions; exponential…

Improved Math Results
• Expressions of the form z(x, y)• View and explore the result in three-dimensional space.
The initial solution is limited to 3D surface plotting.• Disabled by Press-to-Test.• Can plot more than one function in a problem. Allows
for dynamic changes using sliders
3D Graphing
3D GraphingAccessing 3D Graphing
• Add Graphs application/page and select the 3D Graphing View option• 3D Graphing is a separate environment and switching between 3D and 2D
graphing and Plane Geometry is similar to switching from Graphing to Plane Geometry View: no objects carry over between the environments.
• Once in 3D Graphing View, the menus change to 3D menus, for example: • “Graph Type” Menu changes to “3D Graph Type Menu• Menus are changed to 3D specific Menu Items
Space Range Settings (see pictures above) Zoom Animation
Manual Animation, via cursor keys: Press the left and right cursor keys to rotate the graph horizontally. Press the up and down cursor keys to rotate the graph vertically
Automatic Rotation Press x, y, z to view the graph along the x axis, the y axis, the z axis and to return to the original
orientation Sliders: Change the slider value to see the graph change accordingly.

LUNCH Bless us, O Lord, and
these your gifts, which we are about to receive from your bounty. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Connect To Class Each school has a Connect to
Class kit You can install the software on a
board or personal computer The kit contains two 4 port USB
hubs that allow you to distribute files and OS to up to 8 handhelds at a time.
You can easily distribute OS updates or files to 8 handhelds at once
Check out Some Premade Activities The Activities Exchange
contains over 1000 premade activities for Nspire or Nspire CAS
You can search for a topic of your choice
Let’s see how to do it… With a partner, download
