Hey fellow math teachers, I wanted to share a resource that’s been extremely useful in my classroom. It’s a calculator emulator created by Spencer Putt, Chris Shappell, and James Montelongo. If you’ve ever struggled with students not having the same calculator or not being able to see what you’re doing on yours, this tool is for you. It works on desktops, Macs, and Android devices, so pretty much everyone can access it. Once you have it set up, you can project it on your screen, and it works just like a regular graphing calculator. I’ve found it super helpful for walking through problems step-by-step, especially with more complex topics.
The best part? It’s free. So if you’re looking for a way to make sure all your students can follow along during calculations, give this emulator a try. It’s made my life a lot easier, and I think it could help you too. See the instructions for installation attached in the file below.
