What a difference the calculators made when we worked on our Inquiry Labs today. Having enough \"fancy\" calculators to work with was incredible. My students were excited to complete the problems using the new calculators. They enjoyed learning how to use some functions these calculators can do that generic calculators cannot. \r\n\r\nStudents worked on \"Finding Percent of a Number\" first. The students used the calculators to do the heavy lifting for the triple digit multiplying and dividing. \r\n\r\nThey also determined how circumference is related to diameter. They used string to measure various circular objects to find their circumference and then they measured the objects' diameter. From this they were able to use the calculators to calculate pi. They were so excited as they discovered that pi really equaled 3.14! They also used the calculators to find the circumference and area of circles. It was amazing to see this much excitement to do homework.","fullyFundedDate":1726110640581,"projectUrl":"project/calculate-toward-the-future/8608442/","projectTitle":"Calculate Toward the Future","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cavazos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1738249_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449612444195","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-cavazos63"},{"teacherId":7894762,"projectId":5798987,"letterContent":"I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your generous donation of supplies to support my classroom this year.
