Graphing Calculator for NYS Math A… and Beyond

About the Book

Graphing Calculator for NYS Math A… and Beyond was developed as the curriculum for a ½ year or 1 semester math elective course.

It gives instruction and practice in the use of the TI-83+/TI-84+ family of graphing calculators. It has been used by dozens of schools in New York State as a course, integrated into the 9th or 10th grade math course, or as remediation.

Students learn more than how to push buttons. This workbook takes them into the math behind how the graphing calculator works and teaches how to most effectively use this powerful tool.

Math teachers and college students have also found it very useful in maximizing their use and understanding of technology.

The book includes instructions, review, and questions taken from the NYS Math A Regents questions. The material has been praised as easy to understand and has been credited with raising student success level on the NYS Math A Regents exam.

The second book in this series, Graphing Calculator for NYS Math B… and Beyond, is also available from Trafford Publishing.
