Summary: A collection of hands-on lesson plans and ideas for using graphic calculators in the classroom, developed as part of a summer institute offered through the Teachers Teaching with Technology (T3) organization. Participants had to learn how to use a TI-82 and TI-83 graphics calculator; develop a number of engaging, hands-on lessons integrating the technology into the algebra curriculum; and work with CBLs (Calculator Based Labs) to gather data. A range of the lessons developed are available on the Web here.
