The use of calculators is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. In math, students come to class and use calculators for guided practice and to work through modeled strategies. The calculators allow me to see exactly what they are doing as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is that some students are unable to afford calculators due to the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. Even though they are great about showing up every day, it is distracting for many of my students who cannot afford a calculator and have focusing issues to not have a calculator in hand, and they miss important instruction from either me or other students. With the TI-Nspire CX calculators and docking station for every student, they will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning!
