Students no longer have to ask me to borrow one of my 3 extra calculators I had. And more importantly, it's not a rush to see who can ask me first because there used to not be enough calculators for everyone. \r\n\r\nI put the calculators in an old phone pouch hanging on the wall and used numbered stickers on the front of the calculators to keep track of which ones are being used or which ones haven't been returned. I want to make sure the calculators last as long as possible and don't get lost or broken and the numbers help with that.\r\n\r\nMy chemistry class has been using them since they arrived because their work is much more math based than my Biology class. They did arrive just in time for my Biology class to use them in our populations unit. Usually this unit is such a struggle and we go so much slower because kids are either doing the addition and subtraction on paper by hand or waiting to use one of my limited calculators. This year, everyone who needed a calculator had one and it went smoothly.
