| CBRs and CBLs |
| Calculator Based Ranger (CBR) |
| The CBR is a hand-held motion detection device that collects data on motion. This tool connects to a graph calculator and can be used to collect real-life data that students can use to explore mathematical concepts. When linked to a graphing calculator, students can view distance vs. time plots, velocity vs. time plots, or data rangers based on their own movement, thus giving students practical applications that they can visualize clearly. |
| The CBR is a great way to collect data for learning ideas such as slope and rate of change, statistics, calculus and much more. The CBR also offers a great way to connect math to physics and other disciplines. Click here for more information on the CBR. |
| Calculator Based Laboratories (CBL and CBL-2) |

| Like the CBR, calculator based laboratories also provide a means for collecting real-world data. Not only do the CBLs have a probe for detecting motion, the also have probes for detecting light, temperature, force, sound, pressure, heart rate, voltage, and more. The CBL and the new CBL-2 can provide excellent opportunities to connect math with the sciences as well as promoting rich learning experiences in the classroom. |

| The CBL can be used with several different probes. To find out more about the connection of these probes with different mathematical concepts, check out the Probe Reference Matrix for Math. |
