My students need basic supplies to get them through a successful school year. Most of the lessons require the use of an expensive graphing calculator, which many students simply can not afford.
Having enough calculators and, just as importantly, batteries will ensure that the students have one less thing to worry about during the school year. With the proper tools they can focus on what is more important; actually learning and practicing applicable math problems and projects.
An essential tool in the math classroom is a simple calculator. However, even the best tools can wear out and need a little boost. When batteries run out of power, it becomes very difficult for a student to keep up with the group and with the classwork. With a full supply of extra batteries and a charging station nearby, this will not be an obstacle in my class. With only one class set of calculators and six full classes that need to use these calculators, batteries go by quick. As long as I am able to keep a good supply of them, my students will be able to keep learning without interruption.
