My students have a wide range of math skills and learning needs, and having reliable calculators gives them another way to access challenging math while continuing to build their foundational skills.\r\n\r\nWe use the calculators to practice math facts, build calculator fluency, check our work, and solve problems that might otherwise feel out of reach. For some students, having this tool available has helped build confidence and encouraged them to take more risks in math. Instead of getting stuck on a calculation, they can focus on understanding the problem and deciding how to solve it.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite outcomes has been seeing students take ownership of the technology. We created a classroom job called the Calculator Monitor. This student makes sure our calculators are working, returned to the correct spots, and ready for the next class. Students take this responsibility seriously and are proud to help care for our classroom resources.\r\n\r\nYour support provided much more than calculators. You gave my students tools that help them become more independent mathematicians and gave them another opportunity to take responsibility for their classroom community.
