I teach 5 classes of chemistry this year. My students are in 10-12 grades, ages 15-18. Almost 50% of my students in each class are English language learners (ELL), and the majority of them are academically challenged. I teach in an urban high school in Northern California where nine out of every ten students have free lunch. Teaching chemistry to students who are mostly ELL and academically challenged can be a challenging but rewarding task for me. It is challenging since most of the students perceive chemistry as a difficult subject, and most chemistry concepts are abstract and involve math. However, it could be very rewarding when students learn the concepts and enjoy the lessons, as shown from the results of their test scores and their feedback. Learning lessons that involve chemistry problems require the students to solve problems that involve very high or small numbers, logarithms, or the use of scientific notation like Avogadro's number. Hence, the need for scientific calculators.
