Help me give my students access to understanding mathematics by giving them the chance to use a calculator. Many of them do not have the means to go out and purchase one.

My Students
All of the students that are in my classroom are in IEPs and come from all walks of life. They have a lot of life experience by the time that I see them. Many of my students come from troubled backgrounds and just need someone to love on them. They really could benefit from extra supplies and supports in the classroom.
My Project
These calculators will help my students access the general education math curriculum. they will allow my students to quickly calculate simple math problems. This process for them can be extremely difficult and trying to the point that they will get stressed out. If they have access to just a calculator it will cut down on the stress that they feel when they are trying to complete math problems. Most of my students come from homes that do not have a lot of resources so they can not buy them on their own. Not being able to do this severely hinders them in the classroom.
All students should have access to something as simple as a calculator.
Having this will ensure that all of my students can be successful and access all of the material.
