My Project

As students progress into middle school mathematics courses, they are often asked to solve multi-step computational problems that require higher-order thinking. These complex problems require more extensive critical thinking skills, and students will benefit tremendously from the use of a four-function calculator as they navigate through these types of problems. In addition to the calculators being incredibly useful in solving complex problems, they will also provide my struggling students with the support they need to reach their potential. We use calculators frequently in my classroom, and I my students will be delighted to have this mathematical tool available for them during class time.
