This included students who forgot their calculator, lost their calculator, or have never had their own calculator to use in the classroom. Students find it easier to use a personal calculator compared to any online version.\r\n\r\nFurther, when the students in 11th Grade needed to complete their ACT testing, this calculator was permitted for use. 8 students who would have otherwise needed to complete this test without a personal calculator were able to use one of these calculators. This allowed them to perform calculations faster than the online calculator included in the test. This saved them time and helped them feel more comfortable during testing.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for making sure that the cost of a graphing calculator did not prevent students who could not otherwise afford a calculator have one!","fullyFundedDate":1768176191510,"projectUrl":"project/graphing-calculators-make-a-difference-i/10003959/","projectTitle":"Graphing Calculators Make a Difference in Math","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gault","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8164200"},{"teacherId":9395930,"projectId":10045958,"letterContent":"What a wonderful addition to our counseling office!!
