Mathematicians Use Pencils to Correct and Calculators to Confirm

Help me give my students scientific calculators for daily use and a way to have pencils available to them during class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Buckley's classroom raised $280

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students use pen very often which does not allow them change their written work. Mistakes are part of learning and having pencils available for my students to use daily would assist in that process. The saying is "that's why pencils have erasers". Students would be able to correct their mistakes and understand that they can then learn from those mistakes. Scientific Calculators will also aid my students because they will be able to check their answers to see if they arrived at the correct answer after completing the necessary problems.
