In the past, students were pulling out their calculators to answer math questions. Yet, in today’s society with the increase of technology, this seems to be a thing of the past especially with teacher Sara Van Der Werf. This unique teacher begins the class with stating, “Pull out your smartphones, please.” The brilliant part of this is that most students have a smartphone but not every student can afford a pricey graphing calculator but there is now a free app for that on smartphones.
Smartphones provide an affordable alternative to expensive graphing calculator technology.
This online calculator allows students to plug in equations and watch the line graphs being formed. The app can even be run without a need to use wi-fi at home, another measure just in case there are students who do not have that ability to access wi-fi at home. So far, it seems that a major drawback is students can’t use the app or online calculator when they take their ACT or MCA tests. However, they are working on that too.
