Oh The Places Calculators Can Take Us

My Students

Each student walks into my classroom with a variety of feelings about math. From my grade level kiddos, to my struggling learners in the supported course, most come in apprehensive and not looking forward to math. Each day we all work hard together to overcome the negative emotions that come with math. My struggling students who are far below grade level leave feeling accomplished and proud when I am able to tell them that conquered grade level material. All of my students have built a community where they are comfortable offering assistance to their peers when they are excelling and they are comfortable asking for help from their peers when they struggle. My students are amazing and brave, but they need some assistance in being able to access some of the tougher content.

My Project

Most of the 7th grade standards require students to use previous skills and content and apply them to new material. Even with intensive review, this can be a struggle for those students who are already behind in math, have gaps in knowledge from previous grades, or for those who require extra support. A class set of calculators would make the grade level content accessible for every student in the class and would take away a lot of the unnecessary stress that comes with a math course. Math is an incredibly important and applicable content so the idea of students shutting themselves off from it simply because they struggle with basic computations is heartbreaking for me. When in life are you ever without a calculator (thank goodness for smart phones)? Why create an artificial environment in the classroom when calculators would allow my students to achieve deeper learning through complex real-world application problems.
