Your support has made an incredible difference for my Algebra 1 students and those preparing for the ACT. The TI-84 CE is far more than just a calculator, it's an essential learning tool that helps students visualize, explore, and truly understand mathematical concepts. In Algebra 1, being able to graph equations, analyze data, and see the relationships between variables deepens comprehension in ways a basic calculator simply cannot provide. For ACT prep, the calculators help students practice with the same technology they'll use on test day, building both confidence and familiarity.\r\n\r\nMy students have been thrilled to use these new calculators. They especially appreciate features such as recalling previous answers to maintain accuracy and avoid rounding errors—something that becomes increasingly important in upper-level math courses like Precalculus. These tools allow them to check their work, explore multiple approaches to a problem, and develop stronger problem-solving skills. Thanks to your generosity, my students now have the technology they need to succeed both in class and beyond. Thank you for continuing to support our future generations.

The chairs are also very comfortable and students have no problem staying seated when necessary. Comfy students are more likely to stay focused and engaged in the learning instead of being distracted by chairs that are cracked, broken, pinching, etc. There is also no more fighting for the \"good chairs\" because they are all the same and of the same quality.
