My Project
In 7th and 8th grade, students start using calculators more in math. It is difficult to teach certain concepts without the use of a calculator. It is also difficult because some students do not have the foundational skills and then struggle with the new concept.
Calculators will save them because it will make them feel like math geniuses!
Math is already hard enough without them feeling like they cannot be successful because of a past deficit. I want to show them that they are all smart kids when it comes to math and that it is not something that should be despised because of a struggle.
Another plus is that these types of calculators are used in high school. It will give them an opportunity to learn how to use the calculator is a small and safe setting before getting to high school where they may be expected to know how to use it already. I want to prepare them for the best math experience possible!
