In this episode Jon & Kyle discuss whether calculators are good or bad for mathematics learning.

Dig in with them as they chat about their past calculator #classroomfails and how they now position their mathematics lessons to more strategically consider when and where it might be helpful for students to leverage the use of a calculator.

You’ll Learn:

• How I can optimize my learning intentionality so that my lesson does not hinge on calculator use;
• What to do if you think your math lesson will be “derailed” if students don’t have access to a calculator;
• What portion of my lesson is better than others to promote the use of a calculator; and,
• How to design your lessons so that strategies and models emerge to lessen student dependence on their calculator.
