Encourage students in grades 3 - 6 to develop their problem-solving skills and begin connecting mathematic concepts with real-world situations.
Begin building the foundation for future math success
The calculator can display two forms of fractional results simultaneously; allowing students to begin making crucial mathematic connections. Challenge them to manually simplify fractions and mixed numbers in traditional numerator/denominator format or enable the calculator to automatically simplify them or change them to decimal equivalents.
Engage students in self-directed problem solving
Encourage students to explore math on their own with built-in flash cards that challenge their addition; subtraction; multiplication and division skills. Set the flash cards for the appropriate age and type of operation. The flash card functionality gives students hints when a wrong answer is entered and includes an internal scoreboard enabling teachers to check each student's progress.
