Calculators can be an essential item for many students struggling in a math class. My students typically struggle with abstract concepts such as operations with fractions and integers.
Having a calculator that clearly displays what the student is trying to solve is key when trying to provide one-on-one assistance with a student.
Students can breathe a sigh of relief knowing they have the ability to operate a simple calculator without learning an endless amount of steps to find the answer. This can give them the confidence boost they need to participate in class and grow as a learner.
