Welcome to the Pre-Calculus 20 Workshop!

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Today’s Workshop Goals To become more familiar with the

curriculum outcomes and indicators connected to Chapters 2, 3, 4

To try some of the “investigate” and “mini-lab” activities that support the curriculum outcomes and inquiry based approach

To network with other teachers in the division that are teaching the course – share ideas, resources, etc
