Numworks Calculator
In an effort to make calculator function more accessible to students and to increase calculator proficiency across the board, the MDSA Math Department is adopting a phase-in model for the Numworks graphing calculator.
- Incoming freshmen in the 2024-2025 school year are required to have a Numworks graphing calculator for their Math courses at Mount de Sales.
- Returning students (rising sophomores – seniors) may continue to use their TI-83/84 or Numworks calculators for the remainder of their time at Mount de Sales.
The Numworks calculator is included on the list of permitted calculators for all College Board tests (PSAT, SAT, AP) and meets the requirements of the ACT calculator policy. Further, Numworks publishes updates to improve features and performance on a routine basis which students would have access to without needing to purchase a new calculator. Numworks also offers a free online emulator where you can explore the calculator prior to purchasing: https://www.numworks.com/simulator/. More information about the calculator can be found at https://www.numworks.com/.
For all incoming freshmen (or any returning students interested in purchasing the Numworks calculator), you can receive a 10% discount by purchasing through the student discount link: https://grouporder.numworks.com/1c2z7sz.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Mary Sier at msier@mountdesales.org.
