Most schools require students to have a graphing calculator when they reach the dizzying heights of Senior mathematics. The students (or perhaps their parents) invest in these tools. The cheapest price I found was $116 for a Ti82. Which is alot of money for a tool with limited application beyond the mathematics and perhaps science [...]
Computerworld has reported that a recent study has shown that 10year olds are more engaged and have more fun learning maths while using computers.
Here is one extract from the article
“Calder’s research showed students understood some concepts more easily, and they encountered some concepts they would not have normally without access to the computer, for example [...]
