Graphing Calculators Compare the Rate of Depreciation in Trucks
Funded Feb 8, 2022
Thank you so much for helping my students quickly compare the depreciation of new vehicles by using our new graphing calculators! My students were able to log the value of 2 of their dream vehicles over a period of 10 years into their calculators, develop a formula, and determine when it would be beneficial to trade it in or keep it depending on the value.
They really enjoyed the real-life application and especially getting to have a graphing calculator that would give them the formula after inputting their data. Each student could focus on his/her own vehicles and not have to share a calculator or data due to a shortage of calculators. It was great watching them use the calculator and compare the graphs.
I'm so grateful for you helping me have enough calculators for ALL of my students to use in class. We are so thankful!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Oliphant
This classroom project was brought to life by Oklahoma State Department of Education and 6 other donors.

The TI-84 Plus CE Graphing Calculators will be checked out by my students who cannot afford to purchase one due to the economic challenges put on their families by COVID-19. My students will be elated to receive their calculator that they can not only use in the classroom but can also take home to complete projects and assignments including but not limited to quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic graphs and regression models throughout the entire school year without being at a disadvantage. The donations to this project will help my students have a meaningful understanding of the exponential rate of depreciation as well as the the total loan payments over the course of 5 to 10 years on two of their dream vehicles. Using the TI-84, they will compare graphs of the cost of two vehicles as they depreciate, then calculate regression models to find the total loan amount after 5 years, 7 years, and 10 years. This would not be possible during distant learning without your donation. With the TI-84 Graphing Calculator, my students will see a real life example of the importance of saving money as opposed to paying mountains of interest and having unnecessary debt. They will finally answer their own question: When are we ever gonna use this? Thank you for making this possible!
