Algebra Tech 1

My students need 5 TI-83 plus calculators to assist them in Algebra I.

Serious need to help my Algebra I students. I teach Freshmen Algebra at a rural school in East Tennessee. For years I have used HP-38G calculators because they were cheaper than TI's and I could scrape enough money together ($38) to buy a few at a time. These are not working now and I cannot find any company to repair them. It is essential that in today's technology world students have the use of Graphing Calculators. I have one class of 34 and one of 14.

As mentioned previously the 10-15 years it took me to have just 20 of the HP-38G calculators and to gradually lose the use of these through attrition will severely hamper the knowledge growth of my Algebra students

Somehow I need to acquire at least 24 of the TI-83 Plus Graphing calculators. I will try to do this 5 at a time. Algebra students can move so much quicker and achieve much more knowledge when the use of graphing calculators is available. We take pride in giving our students the best math education possible and have done our best to provide current technology where we could.

Your help will enable our Algebra I students to continue their math growth and enable them to be proud of the education they are receiving.
