In all high school math courses at my school, students are required to have and use graphing calculators on a nearly daily basis. With school resources limited, our students are asked to purchase their own calculators. Unfortunately, with a student population which over 90% qualify for free lunch, this is often an unrealistic task for my students and their families. As a Special Education teacher, I work with a wide variety of students who are well below grade level in mathematics and who have difficulty grasping some of the concepts they encounter in their Algebra and Geometry courses. Not having access to the essential tools they need, like graphing calculators, only makes the task that much more difficult for my students.
