Student Calculator

Versatile student calculator with several features. Its main function is to promote mathematical learning.

While the student uses his calculator, he can watch the teacher demonstrate what is required on a giant calculator, making learning an even more dynamic process.

The calculator is an important resource in mathematical activity, namely in the exploration of numerical regularities, in research tasks and in problem solving, that is, in situations where the objective is not specifically the development of calculation skills but rather other mathematical skills that the task involves.

It can also be a useful resource as it enables the development and analysis of mental calculation strategies that help develop number sense, consolidate the meaning of operations and recognize and apply their properties.

Features:
Dimensions: 112 x 68 mm

Activity example
In this activity, it is assumed that the key with the number 8 is not used. You are asked to find one or more key sequences that allow you to solve the operation 8 x 8.

Students will be able to explore different options taking into account the properties of whole numbers and their operations, particularly with regard to multiplication. Thus, they could suggest:

8 x 8 = 2 x 4 x 2 x 4
8 x 8 = 8 x 2 x 4
8 x 8 = 16 x 4
