The use of graphing calculators is a daily tool in my classroom, especially in math. Students are allowed to use these technology tools to help with guided practice and various strategies. They allow students to check their work, as well as provide a way for students to do the computation easily. What becomes a problem is a fact that the older graphing calculators that the school has have stopped working; therefore, the students do not have access to any to be able to check their work or do the computations needed. When something goes awry, students know that they must do the math by hand. Even though they are great about doing this, many of my students have anxiety issues, and they miss critical mathematical computations by not having a calculator to do the math or check their math. By having working graphing calculators in the classroom, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
