My Project

Our 6th grade students are preparing for a world driven by technology. Standardized testing is a part of education from primary grades until graduation. Knowledge in using a calculator is necessary for educational success, daily life skills, and future career endeavors.

These calculators will help the students prepare for careers in STEM fields such as healthcare, engineering, and manufacturing, as well as frontline careers in retail, transportation, and food service.

With calculators on our phones and always within reach, it's more important than ever to teach students how to use them both effectively and efficiently in their everyday lives.
