	High School Graphing Calculator Activities	Get a multitude of graphing calculator activities ready for use in the classroom, in addition to some sample assessment questions that test student's proficiency. These activities focus on Algebra (grades 9-10) and pre-algebra skills (grades 6-8). [by Ward Roberts, ESC XIII]
	High School Matrix & Imaginary Number Activities	For Algebra II teachers, a common question heard by students is, "When would anyone really ever use matrices or imaginary numbers?"  Would you believe that computer animators do?  These activities see how matrix math and math with imaginary numbers can be used to make transformations occur on the coordinate grid.  Also included are some TI programs for "screen savers" generated with matrices and "i."
