My Project

Students need calculators on a daily basis in my class. The use of calculators is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. What becomes a problem is the fact that the calculators never seem to last, they seem to disappear, and they slowly stop working from frequent use. By having calculators, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning!

I really want to see my students succeed in math.

My goal is to have a calculator for every one of the 120 students that I have each year.
