A device used to perform mathematical calculations during a high school end-of-course assessment in algebra. These instruments are employed to aid students in solving complex equations, graphing functions, and performing statistical analyses. An example includes using a graphing tool to visualize a quadratic equation to determine its roots.
The use of these devices during examinations is intended to provide equitable access to problem-solving strategies and reduce the computational burden, enabling students to focus on conceptual understanding. Policies surrounding their use have evolved over time to balance computational assistance with the demonstration of algebraic proficiency.
