Your donation has made doing calculations more accessible to all students. Firstly, students no longer have to ask to borrow a calculator. Often, that is the first barrier because they are embarassed their families cannot afford one. As you can see in the photos, I have them all in pocket holders so students are able to borrow freely without fear of judgement. Secondly, it is so much easier to teach students how to do a calculation when they are all using the same calculators. Different calculators are programmed in different ways and some buttons are marked differently than others. This removes the miscommunication and frustration that often accompanies instructions on how to use so many different types of calculators in one class. The ease of understanding instructions provides students a better learning experience. Again, due to your generous donation, students are able to apply their math skills in my chemistry class with more ease.
