Math Graphing Calculators Part 2

Help me give my students graphing calculators to accurately solve math problems and graph quickly!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ritts's classroom raised $2,850

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are really good at explaining math conceptually but they struggle to compute the answer. Having the same type of calculators for all students would help me teach students to use them to the best of their ability. They can also quickly see graphs and analyze information without doing this by hand. My classroom has a mismatch of calculators so students spent too much time learning how to use each type.

Having the same calculators for all will make class smoother and help student understanding.

I can spend more time teaching the math since I can teach calculator use once instead of teaching all the different types of calculators. These are also rechargeable so we will waste less batteries. Completing this project would give me enough for my whole class to have the same calculator.
