What If?
“ If all students had access to a graphing calculator then mathematical learning would improve and they could perform to their potential in exams. ”
What If? All your students had access to a graphics calculator?
Are you looking to implement graphic technology in your maths department? Are you a teacher that is sceptical or undecided on graphing calculators? Perhaps you believe in their value but struggle to convince your colleagues and leadership team?
We spoke with four mathematicians with wide teaching experience and use of graphing technology, to find out why they believe so passionately in the benefits to teaching and learning through use of graphic calculators.
Bernard Murphy
Maths Teacher & Education Support Specialist
“Students really benefit from having this technology – throughout the two years, not just in the exam. ”
Rose Jewell
AMSP Area Coordinator & Senior Examiner
“That’s a great mathematician question, what if…
and on your calculator you can find out what if really quickly. The calculator will keep up with you, and you can really enhance learning with that.”
Rhiannon Rainbow
Improvement Lead & ECT Coordinator
“We looked at SEN and PP funding options for is advantaged students. Before we knew it all our A-Level students had bought the graphical calculators too. ”
Melios Michael
Assistant Headteacher
“We needed the support of the SLT to back the vision and use of other budgets, such as SEN and pupil premium. ”
