Algebra 2 STEM

Calculators

Students will do work with calculators and without calculators in class. We will use my classroom set of TI-84 calculators during class when needed. 

When not in the classroom, students may use the free online  Desmos Graphing Calculator . This is also the online calculator used on the SAT assessments. Here is a link to the SAT version of Desmos.

Students do NOT need to purchase a graphing calculator for Algebra, however, since most standardized tests allow the use of hand-held graphing calculators, students may want to purchase a graphing calculator for home use. That would give them the opportunity to get additional practice using a hand-held graphing calculator that they could then use when taking  SAT or ACT assessments.
