  • We will learn to draw pictures and create 2-D and 3-D animations on our TI-84 calculators that we can enlarge or shrink. We will work first with 2-D coordinates and then transform our screens into 3-D by adding a z-axis. The goal is to be able to create your own little movies, especially of geometric shapes such as cubes and icosahedra, and learn how to teach your students to do the same.
