This class set of TI-84+ CE calculators will be used on a daily basis in my mathematics classroom and in those of my colleagues.
I've found that using technology like graphing calculators allow students to explore, conjecture, and not be afraid of just asking themselves "I wonder what would happen if..."
In addition, as a teacher of many low-income students, I've found that the cost of one is a burden for many families. Since these devices (and not online tools like desmos.com!) are allowed on the SAT, it really helps my students become familiar enough with these calculators that they can harness that power like wealthier students.
