My 6th grade desperately need calculators and glue sticks. Using calculators to check their work will not only help their speed but also their confidence in doing more difficult problems. I am asking for a classroom set of calculators to stay in my classrooms at all times, so that they are available to all of my students while at school. Most students cannot afford calculators, so to avoid the embarrassment I would like to make sure I have enough for all students. I would like to simplify instruction by being able to tell all students at once exactly which buttons to push, and know all students can follow along.
