My Project

I teach several upper level math classes and each student needs to have access to a graphing calculator. This calculator is used during class, on homework and during test taking. It is important that each student has access to a calculator as they are learning skills which will improve their opportunity to be successful on any future math AP Exam, doing statistical analysis, etc. Calculator proficiency can improve a student's confidence in succeeding on any exam. Graphing calculators are expensive so some students are unable to purchase them. Students who currently do not have a graphing calculator can use their phone for work at home but phones are not allowed to be used in class (far too easy to cheat and be distracted), and classrooms don't have enough of these calculators for ALL students, so teachers have to borrow calculators from other classrooms on test day ... and that can be particularly challenging during FINALS, when all teachers have testing at the same time. The addition of this technology update to my classroom would increase the number of students using a proper device and help them gain needed practice time with a tool which will be imperative to success in the future. I've requested newer CE (color) versions of the TI-84, which are a little more expensive, because some students have purchased that type on their own and the only way to take a CE version out of "test mode" is by connecting it to another CE calculator with a data cable. Also, the graphing display will show multiple graphs, in different colors - which makes demonstrating multiple graphs to a struggling student a little easier.
