Classroom Calculators = No Phone Distractions

Help me give my students classroom sets of calculators. Our school is trying to interrupt the influence of cell phones and we need calculators for our freshmen so they don’t need to use their phones and up distracted!

My Project

Our freshmen need calculators to finish homework in our freshmen advisory class but get easily distracted when they use their phone calculators. Classroom sets of calculators will leave them no excuses to be distracted.

Often times when students are on task using their phones for calculators one notification or ping can ruin their momentum and get them in trouble.

We are trying very hard to interrupt the unhealthy level of distraction and procrastination that our students face from their digital devices. Thank you for your help! We really appreciate it!
