Prior to the project, 93% of teachers indicated that they never used supplemental materials in algebra or
geometry in the classrooms. Since purchasing the TI-Nspire calculators for all students, daily classroom
usage of the equipment increased to 77%. Sixty percent of teachers said their students use the calculators
for in-class inquiry-based explorations using the calculator’s scientific functions. Additionally, math
benchmark test data show that the classes furthest along in implementation (utilizing the technology most
consistently) demonstrate the greatest score gains.
