
How the teacher guide is organized
This guide consists of two sections: Activities
and How to use the TI-34 MultiView™
calculator. The Activities section is a collection
of activities for integrating the TI-34 MultiView
into mathematics instruction. The How to use
the TI-34 MultiView calculator section is
designed to help you teach students how to use
the calculator.
Each section uses the default settings, including
the MathPrint™ mode, unless indicated
otherwise.
Activities
Each activity is self-contained and includes the
following:
• An overview of the mathematical purpose of
the activity.
• The mathematical concepts being developed.
• The materials needed to perform the activity.
• The detailed procedure, including step-by-
step TI-34 MultiView key presses.
• A student activity sheet.
How to use the TI-34 MultiView
This section contains examples on transparency
masters. Chapters are numbered and include the
following.
• An introductory page describing the
calculator keys presented in the example, the
location of those keys on the TI-34 MultiView,
and any pertinent notes about their
functions.
• Transparency masters following the
introductory page provide examples of
practical applications of the key(s) being
discussed. The key(s) being discussed are
shown in black on the TI-34 MultiView
keyboard. The mode settings are also shown
for examples with mode setting changes.
Reset the TI-34 MultiView
• You can ensure that everyone starts at the
same point by having students reset the
calculator: Press % and then select
2 (Yes).
Conventions used in the teacher guide
• In the text, brackets [ ] around a key's
symbol/name indicate that the key is a
second, or alternate, function.
For example: %c
• In the text, n is assumed to be an integer and
x a real number, unless otherwise specified.
