My Project

Right now, I have various types of calculators in my middle school math classroom. Some work better than others and many have the functions in different places, which makes teaching students how to use them more challenging.

By getting a class set of the same type of calculator, I would be able to better teach students how to use the functions of the calculator so that they can be more confident in their math as they move up grade levels.

When I have a larger class, we can struggle to have enough calculators for everyone to use, which means some students use a calculator on their computers. This can make working in groups, outside or at easels more challenging. They and I would love to be able to have better hand held calculators to use.
