Calculator Programs Can Revolutionize H.S. Algebra

Authors: Timothy W. Jones

This article develops three calculator programs for (1) exponential modeling, (2) solving systems of linear equations, and (3) displaying various types of functions encountered in high school algebra. We suggest that these calculator programs will engage students better than the pencil and paper approaches of the past, that topics covered will be retained better by students, and that teachers will find teaching the coding involved is rewarding. Calculator programs can revolutionize high school algebra; an evolution is needed.
