Because graphing calculators are often used to generate graphs, increased emphasis should be placed on analyzing what the graphs mean, and on using graphs to answer questions about equations and the real-life situations they represent.
Graphing calculators and computers are used regularly to enable modeling and validation of links between observed data and abstract concepts.
Graphing calculators and computers are technological tools that will be used to help students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts being taught in each mathematics course.

Graphing calculators: The need for separate graphing calculators for math students could be eliminated, as graphing calculator software is available for handheld computers.
TI's graphing calculators come with short cables to link one calculator to another, but you must obtain a separate cable to connect your calculator to your computer.
Graphing calculators are used in Mathematics, email accounts are available to all students and teachers, and Internet access exists in all rooms and computer labs as well as the library.
