Graphing calculators will open up the possibilities of bringing in more interactive and exploratory learning for my students. In this world of growing reliance on technology, these calculators will allow my students to stay up to date in understanding the latest technology which will allow them to be competitive as they reach high school and beyond. The calculators will be used by students in all of my classes to support the mathematics being taught in the class. I have amazing students that are eager to learn and I want them to have the tools to help them succeed. This grant will empower students to take on sophisticated mathematics and make sense of the world in mathematical ways. Graphing calculators help students in visualizing mathematics when they are able to see all the multiple representations on the calculators: graphs, geometry, algebra, and tables. This technology helps students make sense of problems and deepen their understanding so they can feel more confident and assured in their experiences and in their math abilities! Technology is intertwined everywhere in our real world and we want to bring it into the classroom. In a school where not all students can afford graphing calculators, it would mean so much to be able to provide this opportunity to my students.
