As a special education teacher, I understand the importance of teaching my students how to complete basic math skills without the use of calculators and other manipulatives. I strive to teach them how to solve their mathematical problems using pencil and paper. However, to give them the ability to each check their answers on their own calculator would help establish and/or build their self-confidence on their capabilities in my classroom. To help alleviate stress and concern about the responsibility to hold onto their personal, individual calculators, they will be stored in the pocket chart along with the students' other individualized classroom materials. This pocket chart will be helpful in still promoting lessons in responsibility and accountability by requiring students to put up their belongings in their designated pocket on the chart at the end of each class. It is imperative for me to teach my students not only the core standards and skills needed to be successful academically, but also crucial to teach them life skills such as responsibility. In having a class set of calculators and a designated place for students to put them each day, we will not only be able to build confidence through checking answers on the calculators, but also establish the importance of routine, cleanliness, and responsibility by maintaining a clean work place.
