Help me give my students better tools for completing their math and science work. We have currently been using free promotional pocket calculators that I had been given as a donation from the local bank.
I am creating this project to provide my students with better tools for completing their math and science work. I teach Middle School Science on Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Reservation and may students come from homes where school supplies are not with in their means or budgets. My students being in Science run across math concepts that we are tackling very often. These math skills tend to be much more than mental math can handle. We have currently been using free promotional pocket calculators that I had been given as a donation from the local bank. They are very tiny and only perform the basic functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Many of my students struggle with math concepts and trying to fumble with big fingers on a tiny calculator adds into their frustrations.
Having calculators that are made for Middle School student sized hands and Middle School student sized curriculum would be a blessing, instead of fumbling with promotional pocket calculators from the local bank.
Being able to store them for easy use for either my science class or math class would also add to the easy of the school lessons.
