Donors needed!

[Trey's Better Half]

Hi Everyone,

It's Trey's better half, Kathy. Not only do I keep Trey in line, but I also teach Pre-Algebra to seventh graders in the Indianapolis Public School system. I was recently told about a website that allows teachers to submit proposals for supplies needed in their classroom. I have submitted three proposals for a total of one classroom set of TI-84 Plus Silver graphing calculators. This technology would make math class fun and interesting for my students. Also, this is a great opportunity for a tax deduction for you as a donor that benefits inner city children.

Please check out the links below.

Thank you!

Those are some Bad-A$$ calculators, not only graphing, but they'll do financial calculations much like the HP12C (a staple of business students nationwide) , and statistics also!

Real and complex numbers calculated to 14-digit accuracy and displayed with 10 digits plus a 2-digit exponent.

Graphs 10 rectangular functions, 6 parametric expressions, 6 polar expressions, and 3 recursively-defined sequences.

Interactive analysis of function values, roots, maximums, minimums, integrals, and derivatives.

7 different graph styles for differentiating the look of each graph drawn.

Matrix operations including inverse, determinant, transpose,

augment, reduced row echelon form, and elementary row operations.

Convert matrices to lists and vice-versa.

List-based

one- and two-variable statistical analysis, including logistic,

sinusoidal, median-median, linear, logarithmic, exponential, power,

quadratic polynomial, cubic polynomial, and quartic polynomial

regression models.

3 statistical plot definitions for scatter plots, xy-line

plots, histograms, regular and modified box-and-whisker plots, and

normal probability plots.

Advanced statistics features including 9 hypothesis testing

functions, 6 confidence interval functions, and one-way analysis of

variance.

15 probability distribution functions including Normal, Student-t, Chi-square, Binomial, and Poisson.

Business functions including Time-Value-of-Money (TVM), cash

flows, and amortization. Full screen interactive editor for solving TVM

problems.

Thats one mean machine for 7th grade pre-algerbra students. They must be some fast tracking students.

My 3 kids who are college students didn't need a TI-84 till they hit college. The TI 81's and TI 83's carried them thru High School, and lower model TI carried them thru junior high.

I chose these because of the amount of memory. I can download many different applications and programs from the TI website for my students to use in their learning. A lesser model will only hold a few applications. Plus, I have a TI Navigator to link all of the calculators together by way of hubs to a computer. This uses quiet a bit of the calculator's memory.

Thanks for your interest.

My students are math/science/technology magnet students. They will complete Pre-Algebra as 7th graders and Algebra I as 8th graders. At the end of 8th grade they will take the core 40 exam. In high school these students can continue their math education at a higher level.

Catching the little bugger may be your real trick as every time I turned around in Hope that boy was no less than 40 feet from the last spot I saw him in[]

Moves with those cat like reflexes I tell you[]

Kathy,

You're doing the Lord's work. Those are neat calculators. I remember getting them for my girls when they were going through school. That's a worthy project. Thanks for the heads up to the forum. Hope all goes well. I'm in.

Kathy,

I know that school. My Aunt taught there for over twenty years. ( Mary Glenn Hamilton). You are a saint, among saints...........Good Luck.
