My Project

I am requesting 10 TI -84 plus calculators. These are an everyday use in my algebra classrooms. The students at my school cannot afford these types of calculators which are the ones they will use on ACT and other standardized test. I would like to start giving them a physical piece of technology which will help them in the future! I just want my students to feel comfortable and confident when they take test or just doing their assignment with these calculators! By having them in class this will give them an opportunity to work with them on a daily basis. Which in math, repetition is key when becoming familiar with calculator functions!
