Becoming proficient at how to use a graphing calculator will also prepare students for success in AP classes and in college. The biggest issue in our area is trying to get students to achieve a proficient test scores on their algebra keystone. If the students do not pass, they cannot graduate. While the students are taking the test many of them do not even know how to use the calculator even though there are SO MANY functions that would help them succeed. This is because the students do not get the opportunity to work with them in the classroom. Many of them are broken, malfunctioning, or just plain old!
