"NSpire" Math 2015
Funded Oct 9, 2015Thank you so much for your generous gift of TI-Nspire graphing calculators for my Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics students. Your gift helped complete our class set; there is now one calculator for each students to use in class.
My students are required to learn to use graphing calculator technology as part of the AP course requirements. In the field of statistics, there is a movement away from computation and towards analysis of values. Graphing calculators and computers can complete computation much more accurately, efficiently and with larger values than people can by hand. However, humans, and by extension, my students, are the only ones that can accurately interpret these values generated by technology to provide recommendations in the fields of business, medicine and politics, to name a few. Learning to input and interpret the data into these graphing calculators is vital to my students' success on both AP exams and in their future academic and professional pursuits.”

NSpire Math!
Funded Oct 24, 2014My students were absolutely thrilled to received the brand new TI-Nspire graphing calculators. We received enough new calculators for each student to have their own calculator for in-class and at-home use.
With enough calculators for all students, my instruction has been streamlined. We no longer need to discuss how to use multiple calculators during one lesson, which was always time consuming and confusing! The students are also better able to help each other now, since everyone is using the same technology.
Your generous contributions have truly "Nspired" my students to further explore STEM career fields and to reach success on their AP Statistics exam in May!”
With gratitude,

Inspire Math
Funded Dec 5, 2013My students are loving the brand-new TI-Nspire calculators. These new calculators are much more intuitive than the older TI-84s. Since my course focuses on statistics, the students are really liking the fact the that the calculator functions more like Excel than an ancient calculator-only program. My students can really see how this math course and calculator connects to their future in a variety of career choices.
Several students have remarked that it is "very cool" that they are able to use some of the best technology!”
