Mathematics Coming to Life Through Graphs and Color

Help me give my students access to a graphing calculator which will enable them to learn and understand the mathematics in their class better. It will allow them to master the key concepts needed for their classes.

My Students

My students have been working hard, but some of them don't have a graphing calculator or the means to purchase one. Because of COVID not all families can afford to purchase a calculator and we have run out of calculators to rent so there are many students who don't have a calculator. To be able to do the math that is required for College Prep, Secondary 3 Honors and AP Calculus they need a graphing calculator.

My Project

Students will be able to learn the mathematics required to be successful in their classes and not stress over the fact that they don't have the money to purchase a calculator at this time. Students will be able to do their assignments in a timely manner and will have a better understanding of what is being taught in class and will be able to accomplish more in math. As they have this tool available to them it will give them the ability to go farther and deeper in their understanding of algebra and calculus.
