====Assistive Technology and Math can be as simple as a teacher-made dice shaker or as sophisticated as online resources such as virtual manipulatives. Access is critical to success in many math activities that encourage the learner to 'play with' and explore math concepts on the road to deeper understanding and application of the learning. This page is designed to equip educators and parents with tools and strategies to make math more accessible to all learners.====

 * **[|DreamCalc]** - Download graphing or scientific calculators. Free trial but fees for continued use.
 * ====**[|Free Online Scientific Calculator :: Encalc]** - An online scientific calculator (no need to download). Its strength lies in its ability handle units and dimensional analysis, to define variables and its large database of constants. Parenthesis and scientific formulas are also supported. Encalc provides explanations of how different variables and constants function within an equation or formula.====
 * ====**[|graph.tk]** - A free online graphing utility that allows you to plot multiple functions through its dynamically resizing grid. To graph an equation on Graph.tk just click the "+" symbol to enter a new equation. NOTE: you need to delete the existing default equations before you start.====
 * ====**[|Microsoft Scientific Calculator]** - A scientific calculator that you can download for free (Windows only). Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 is a graphing calculator that plots in 2D and 3D. Of course, the calculator does many other functions such as solving inequalities, converting units of measure, and performing matrix and vector operations.====
 * **[|SpeedCrunch Scientific Calculator]** - A free scientific calculator download for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. Speed Crunch performs all of the functions necessary for high school Algebra and Geometry courses except graphing. It also has a "math book" containing commonly used equations and formulas that are color coded to differentiate between constants and variables
 * **[|Web 2.0 scientific calculator]** - A free online scientific calculator can do what your average high school student needs it to do. Use it on the Web2.0calc site or use one of three widgets to embed the calculator into your own blog or website.
