I am in need of a class set of graphing calculators! My students each need their OWN graphing calculator in class on a daily basis. These will be used every day by every student, and will never leave my classroom. There are many standards in the Algebra 1 curriculum that REQUIRE students to use technology, specifically graphing calculators. Students are allowed to use these calculators on their state mandated test at the end of the semester. Having more calculators available to my kids, in addition to the old/outdated ones we have, will end up helping so many more students in a school year. Also, these are the calculators that our students will use in their upper level math classes in high school, as well as in college. Teaching 9th graders how to use them from the beginning of their math careers will set the foundation for years to come! In addition to on level students, I teach inclusion classes (with students with special needs) and ESOL inclusion classes. Having a calculator provided to EVERY student also allows my slower progressing students use a calculator to check, what we call simple arithmetic, and be able to answer problems with confidence. They won't be singled out as using a calculator, because EVERYONE has one! I teach in a rural area in north Georgia, and funding for items like these are not readily available. Most of my students come to school without the basics of pencils, erasers, and paper, so requiring these calculators is not an option. My school does its best to provide as much as possible, but there are just some items still needed, and I can't afford to buy them either.
