Graphing Calculator
For the Integrated Algebra Regents you will be required to use a graphing calculator. There is an online graphing calculator application that you can download or you can purchase one to practice with. If you have an older sibling check with them, as they might already have one you can borrow.
Online graphing calculator application: http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/productDetail/us_sdk_73_83_84.html Before you download the calculator be sure to ask for permission from your parent/guardian.
The application is a little confusing at first, but if you follow the directions carefully you can get a virtual graphing calculator.
Steps:Click download (underneath the picture of the calculator) and Click the TI-83 Plus SDK Run
Once the application is download
Open up the application
File newSelect TI-83 PlusView Calculator
Debug Go
Your calculator should be fully functional. Enjoy practicing with your virtual calculator!
Disclaimer
The application is from Texas Instruments and I assume no liability relating to the application. Before downloading any applications be sure to read all information relating to the download. If you have downloaded the application please share your thoughts with the rest of the class.

Pythagorean Theorem Project
Pythagorean Theorem Project
Learning Objective: Student will be able to prove that the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the measure of a missing side of right triangle.
TASK:
• Measure and cut out two triangles. You can use 3, 4, 5 or 5, 12, 13 as the legs and hypotenuse and measurements of your choice. You may also prove the theorem using the lengths of three squares or any other mathematical sound procedure.
• Evaluate a2+ b2= c2 for both triangles
• Form your own conclusion/ proof about whether the Pythagorean Theorem works
