Accounting may not seem like a sexy subject, but for these kids it's their first exposure to a professional career that is well within their reach. From the outset, I tell my students that the most math they will need is basic addition, subtraction, and, if we get really crazy, we might multiply. This typically assuages their fear and allows us to get down to business. Unfortunately, we don't have the tools to make this process easy. We don't have calculators or numeric pads, so students share scientific calculators or use a Google calculator. It's a disaster and replete with errors. Inevitably, students get frustrated with the errors arising from common data entry mistakes and many kids just give up. My students need numeric keypads for success in class. The numeric pads will combat this frustration by giving the students a technological resource to enter the numbers in correctly. Instead of fighting the data entry, we can focus on learning and practicing the subject.
