School's math lessons go high-tech - CATHY GRIMES, Newport News Daily Press
It was a good morning for golf, perhaps a little nippy, but no rain. Maricia Granby's students got set for the first of nine holes they planned to get in that morning. Sand traps punctuated the sloping, tree-lined fairway. The hole was a distant dot. One by one the Heritage High School ninth-graders teed up, wielding their club of choice: A Texas Instruments graphing calculator linked to an interactive computer program.... A closer look reveals familiar math tools. Behind Rudolph and the fairways are the familiar squares of a graph with X and Y axes, a staple of basic algebra. Students use both the high-tech calculators and low-tech pencil and paper to work through problems.
