Part of the beauty of mathematics is that it is performed, checked, and completed utilizing the universal language of numbers. Mastery in mathematics thus partially prepares our students to become exemplary citizens of a global community. While often frustrating and sometimes tedious, mathematics can also light up the heart and mind of a child like few other subjects. It is indispensable as a means of communication in business, engineering, science, and all other areas of human endeavor. While no tool can ever surpass the importance of human intellect, calculators are a gift of human progress that can be used by students to free up time for critical thinking and essential skill-building. Our current inventory of calculators is effectively non-existent, with most lacking any form of adequate functionality and all lacking the scientific or higher-order operations that are critical at this level. With successful funding of these resources, my incredible students will have additional time to focus on building, developing, and practicing the skills that they desperately need. This will also help to provide effective and efficient differentiation for students with special needs who may require additional time and resources to solve problems independently. Lastly, the procurement of calculators will allow students to excel on state tests where calculators are often permitted, but not provided.
