| New! Concepts and Calculators in
Calculus by George Best, Stephen Carter and Douglas Crabtree This
new calculus book focuses on conceptual understanding and thinking skills. The graphing
calculator is an integral part of the text and students to manipulate and compare
graphical, numerical and algebraic representations of the ideas. The text is designed to
include the best aspects of calculus reform along with the goals and well established
methods of traditional calculus. It has been written to meet the needs of students
enrolled in an AB advanced placement course as well as students who are enrolled in a
non-advanced placement course. (Hardcover, 400 pages) |

| New! A Graphing Matter:
Activities for Easing into Algebra by Mark Illingworth Show your
middle school, pre-algebra, and algebra students fun, real-world applications of variables
and relationships. In a Graphing Matter, comical and sometimes irreverent scenarios
explore activities such as “A Hare Raising Expose,” “Dr. Olivo’s Hairy
Eyeball Theory,” and “Sweatered Fish of the Deep.” Activities engage
students with concrete problems and experiments in which variables represent quantities
they can see and measure. They collect and graph data, then analyze graphs to discover
patterns and relationships between variables, write equations, and hypothesize about how
changing the experiment would affect the “look” of the graph. The book contains
26 projects, including blackline masters for students working in cooperative groups and
other projects designed as teacher-led demonstrations. Also includes answers and
teacher’s notes. Grades 6-10. (Paperbound, 136 pages). |

| New! Visualizing Calculus:
Powerful Programs for Graphing Calculators by Clarence Hopper Nervous
about using the programmable calculator in your calculus course? Here is a valuable
resource designed for teachers, not programmers. Visualizing Calculus: Powerful Programs
for Graphing Calculator delves deep into calculus, covering a broad range of topics that
span the entire calculus course, not just particular units. Students enter these powerful
programs into their calculator, and then use problem sets to explore the various functions
in calculus and investigate and compare the data produced. The authors provide programs
for a wide array of calculators, making this a useful book for almost any student using a
graphing calculator today! |

| New! A Mathematical Mosaic:
Patterns & Problem Solving by Ravi Vakil Is a must for
teachers seeking to challenge their best students, and for students preparing for
mathematics. In this exciting book, Vakil, a preeminent winner of International
Mathematics Olympiads, develops some of the powerful problem-solving ideas underpinning
the major branches of mathematics and weaves them into a mosaic that reveals their
interconnections. The mathematics is presented at the level of the capable
high school
mathematics student, but there is much substance for the advanced undergraduate and the
intelligent lay reader. You will find this book an invaluable source of enrichment
problems and ideas. The style is informal, friendly, and often humorous. In this book,
Vakil profiles seven other mathematics Olympiad winners including Noam Elkies, the
youngest professor to receive tenure at Harvard. (Paperbound, 254 pages). |

| More Than 150 Ways to Use Your Graphing Calculator by
John Diehl A Reference Guide to Using the TI-82, TI-83, and TI-86 in Algebra,
Trigonometry, Statistics, Pre Calculus, and Calculus This resource book is designed to
assist the user in incorporating the graphing calculator into the mathematics curriculum.
It contains examples of calculator techniques appropriate for algebra, trigonometry,
precalculus, and calculus and statistics courses. The examples include screen images of
the commands and results as they appear on the calculator. Over 400 screen images are used
to demonstrate the more than 100 examples. The book includes commands for the TI-81, TI-82
and TI-85, identified by icon. It is intended to serve as a guide for users of any of
these calculators, and to be of special assistance to those who use more than one model.
For instance, teachers who have classes in which students have different models can use
this guide to describe a particular technique on each model. (Spiral bound, 45 pages) |

| More Than Graphs: Activities for the TI Graphics
Calculators by Jim Specht Here’s a great book of graphing
calculator activities for the prealgebra or algebra classroom. Students will explore a
variety of calculator functions while developing mathematical understanding. The book is
full of amusing activities such as “Great Gonzo, The Human Cannonball,” which
introduces students to modeling with parametric equations, and “The Drawing
Tablet,” in which students learn how to create “graphics” on the calculator
screen. With a graphing calculator and the entertaining activities in this book, students
are motivated to explore concepts and experiment with new and traditional topics in the
mathematics curriculum. Each activity is followed by at least one extension in which
students are encouraged to explore further. Many of the activities can be done in a
cooperative learning atmosphere. Activities encourage students to do probability
simulations, collect and analyze statistical data, experiment with parametric and polar
functions, explore different methods of finding common solutions for systems of equations,
and more. Contains 40 graphing calculator activities, along with its own key map to help
students locate the calculator functions. Includes disks with programs for use with TI-
GRAPH LINK software on both MAC/IBM. (Paperbound, 228 pages) |
