Calculate Success!

My students need 30 TI-15 calculators that show division answers as quotients with remainders, fractions, or decimals.

I am a fourth grade teacher at a high poverty school in a rural county of Tennessee. My students are hard workers but we are having problems with division.

My students need to learn that division answers can be written as a quotient with a remainder,a fraction, or a decimal. We have a few standard calculators to use, but half of our set is broken. Furthermore, the standard calculator confuses the children when we are focusing on remainders because the standard calculator only shows the answer as a decimal. We end up arguing whether "4.1" means "4 and one tenth" or "4 remainder 1"!

We need a new class set of calculators that will show division answers as quotients with remainders, as fractions, or as decimals. The students need to be able to see that fractions and decimals are just alternate forms of division. They also need to be able to see alternate answers to each problem. Being able to clearly see the various forms to division answers would certainly clear up our confusion and lead to mastery of higher math!

Your donation would help my students "calculate success" by mastering division, fractions, and decimals now and would boost their possibilities of success in the future!
