I currently teach 5th grade mathematics online. Students find it difficult to use online digital tools to show or demonstrate their learning. Most of these tools are not designed for math instruction. I find that students are starting to rely and use calculators more often because it is easier to just enter an answer instead of showing their work. They are not developing their conceptual knowledge of mathematics through modelling and solving computations. Providing them with a digital writing tablet will allow them to perform these critical math operations without the added frustration. Our entire class is currently online remotely, but we will return to a blended model soon. The digital tablets requested in this proposal will help to equip students who will not return to the classroom to easily participate in class while online.
