After a couple of years of being in and out of school, our students have gaps in key skills such as graphing. Rather than spending more time reteaching these middle school skills, we can teach them how to use technology! These graphing calculators allow students to deepen their understanding of what the graph is about, rather than get caught up in the nitty-gritty of graphing by hand (and often making simple mistakes), which can be very frustrating. Isn't our ultimate goal, at the upper math levels, for them to understand the use of the graphs and interpret the information in front of them, instead of just being able to draw the graphs? Getting these new calculators will give students the skills of using technology in order to answer deeper mathematical questions. There are cheaper versions, but the colored screen and ability to display the table and the graph is an important feature of this model that would be used regularly! This money would fund just a small portion of a class set. A class set would total $5000 so putting a dent in this cost would be wonderful!
