Welcome to "Mastering the NEW STAAR" – an engaging and informative session designed specifically for 8th and Algebra 1 math teachers! In this session, we will address a crucial aspect of the NEW STAAR test – the use of calculators, including the built-in DESMOS graphing calculator and the handheld TI calculator.

As educators, we understand the importance of equipping our students with the necessary tools to excel in their exams. However, it's equally crucial to teach them effective strategies that will help them make informed decisions about when to use which calculator, without losing precious time to test-taking strategies.

Join us for this dynamic session where we will equip you with the tools and knowledge to help your students become STAAR masters. By the end of this session, you will feel confident in guiding your students to make the most of both the built-in DESMOS graphing calculator and the handheld TI calculator.
