Calculators—A Necessary Tool
Funded Jan 10, 2019
Both myself and my students really appreciate your donation. These calculators will help with their ability to do problems and labs in class. As we now have all students taking physics and many of them are low income and cannot afford calculators, these will alleviate that educational gap. Again, Thank You!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Dukes
This classroom project was brought to life by Verizon and one other donor.

The students do calculations every day in physics using real-world numbers such as times off of a stop watch or distances between planets. A good number of my students cannot afford a calculator in order to do these. They also use them to follow along with me during sample problems and on tests. The biggest struggle is during testing: if the student does not have access to a calculator, the test becomes much more difficult or would take them much longer to finish. Even after borrowing calculators from other teachers, I have had to have students share calculators during tests. This is difficult as I have to make sure that it is cleared out every time that is is passed between the students. These calculators would give every student a more equal opportunity to be successful.
