Today we will experience how to create programs on a TI 93 Graphing Calculator. Please follow the links to view the exercises:

• TI program herons
• Making a Program that calculates the length of the hypotenuse given the lengths of the 2 legs

If you are able to use the specific programming instructions and you get to the expected results, take a picture of the calculator (& yourself if you want to) to add to your Process Journal as evidence! :-)


Continuing with what we began last class G9 Tech Class #31, we will move forward developing Investigate stage.
