Abstract

In this paper, we first discuss three aspects of teaching statistics:

1. How the teacher used the HP38G graphing calculator as a teaching tool;
2. How the college's students learned statistics with the help of HP8G graphing calculators; and
3. How the use of HP38G graphing calculators affects the content of the course.
4. Finally, we will talk about the students's reactions after one year of use of the HP38G graphing calculators.
