bring real-world data collection and analysis into the classroom

easy-to-use, self-contained

no programming required

Includes the RANGER program

the versatile RANGER program is one button away

MATCH and BOUNCING BALL programs are built into RANGER

primary sampling parameters are easy to set

What does CBR do?

With

CBR

and a TI graphing calculator, students can collect, view, and analyze motion data

without tedious measurements and manual plotting.

CBR

lets students explore the mathematical and scientific relationships between distance,

velocity, acceleration, and time using data collected from activities they perform. Students
can explore math and science concepts such as:

motion:

distance, velocity, acceleration

graphing:

coordinate axes, slope, intercepts

functions:

linear, quadratic, exponential, sinusoidal

calculus:

derivatives, integrals

statistics and data analysis:

data collection methods, statistical analysis

What’s in this guide?

Getting Started with CBR

is designed to be a guide for teachers who don’t have extensive

calculator or programming experience. It includes quick-start instructions for using

CBR

, hints

on effective data collection, and five classroom activities to explore basic functions and
properties of motion. The activities (see pages 13–32) include:

teacher notes for each activity, plus general teacher information

step-by-step instructions

a basic data collection activity appropriate for all levels

explorations that examine the data more closely, including what-if scenarios

suggestions for advanced topics appropriate for precalculus and calculus students

a reproducible student activity sheet with open-ended questions appropriate for a wide
range of grade levels
