We specifically are using them to learn the meaning of multiplication and division by drawing equal groups and using a variety of strategies to solve.

This allows them to listen to audiobooks during independent reading time or listen to math explanations while working on their digital math assignments.\r\n\r\nWithout supporters like you, students may not have these wonderful tools to maximize their learning experience.
