How to make the most of your scientific graphing calculator

October 15, 2017 by Halley Lavenstein Leave a Comment

Today’s graphing calculators can do way more than add or subtract.

They can be a tool to aid in your math (and even science) classes. Here are six cool things to do with your scientific graphing calculator to up your academic game:

Solve quadratic equations graphically

Input the equation into the graphing feature of the calculator and find the intercepts graphically instead of using the quadratic formula.

Study the periodic table

Download the periodic table onto your calculator for a fun, on-the-go way to learn the elements!

 

 

 

 

Zombies can be educational! Learn math through a zombie apocalypse!

Download Zombie Apocalypse 1: STEM of the Living Dead and learn about epidemiology, immunity, predictions, and geometric progression on your calculator.

Learn to code

Create simple codes on your calculator and learn about the mathematics behind it all.

 

 

Solve derivatives and integrals

Input the equation and solve the derivative or integral numerically or graphically.

Collect Data

Attach sensors to your calculator and collect data on your latest experiment in real time!

With the technology now available at our fingertips, we can accomplish so much more, here and now; but, you need to know how to use it and when to use it. Sometimes, these brilliant calculators won’t be allowed in the classroom for tests or other circumstances. If you need help to understand how to use your graphing calculator and/or understand the math and science concepts behind these functions and beyond, RITES has qualified, engaging math and science tutors who can help.
