I am requesting funds to acquire twenty Ti-84 graphing calculators for use in my classroom so that my students can efficiently use the technology to effectively develop their understanding and fluency in graph analysis and algebra. I hypothesize that if we can utilize the efficiencies inherent in the use of a graphing calculator, then the students will gain more practice and have a better understanding of the related math skills which will lead to increased confidence and improvement in their SAT performance outcomes. Research from the state shows that math is the gateway course that determines college readiness and success completion of education at the post-secondary level. To evaluate the impact of this program, I will provide frequent instructional activities geared to the use of a graphing calculator and I will record student achievement on selected assignments. The math portion of the SAT has two sections, one that allows calculators and one section that does not, so students will as a normal course of action be exposed to classroom assignment s that involve calculators and some that do not. In particular, I will compare student performance on an assessment that involved statistical analysis that was performed without a calculator and one that was performed with the aid of a graphing calculator.
