My Project

Graphing calculators play a crucial role in secondary math classrooms by enhancing students' mathematical comprehension and problem-solving skills. These technological tools provide a visual representation of mathematical concepts, enabling students to explore and understand complex equations, functions, and graphs.

By fostering a hands-on, interactive learning experience, graphing calculators not only support academic achievement but also cultivate a deeper understanding of mathematical principles, preparing students for success in higher-level mathematics and real-world applications.

My students come from a small rural town and many do not have the financial resources to purchase calculators of their own. These calculators will allow students to have access to this technology for use in class and for college admissions testing.
