For some reason, my stat teacher has a project due on the last day of school, tomorrow, so can you help me out?
basically, the schools math department is bidding for a grant to buy some ti calc stuff, including that infrared and laser stuff. anyhoo, the department surveyed the alg 1 class on questions on whether or not they used calcs at home or whether or not it helped them.
my assignment was to make up a question to better help the school in their quest for the grant. i really dont care since im a senior, but heres my question:
"do calculators actually improve the grades of students who use them?"
theres a poll, obviously associated with this, i cannot list all the possible answers, i'll email her the link and cite this as research, so feel free to respond to this thread.
feel free to state your personal experience with calculators. please make the comments on how well they helped you learn rather than, how much fun you had playing mario brothers on a TI86 during Cal AP.
also, should the school buy BETTER calculators (as this is the case, we just got some 89's) in prospect of higher grades? (learning and understanding = higher grades). of course, im talking about test grades, as one may understand a concept, but choose not to do the homework out of the lulling of counterstrike. =)
Thanks alot!
