I actually really like this app, and I find it provides efficient, effective, and easy use of a calculator without carrying a stand-alone calc in your bag. I enjoy how easy it is to use, students can take screen shots of their work, progress, and understanding using the screen capture tools, which is not possible using an actual calculator. When I think of student progress and understanding, I automatically default to formative assessment. I find that this tool can be leverage to provide that assessment piece which is usually missing because math is so black and white (right answer or wrong answer). My only wish is that educational institutions allow students to use them on tests and quizzes but unfortunately, they are not ready for that as they assume the worst in that students will use their mobile technology to cheat…..but that’s a discussion for another time.

Hi Suhayl,
I also really liked this calculator app. Student’s don’t need to go out and buy another instrument (ie. calculator) since they can use this on their IPhones, IPads, Androids, etc… As you have stated, I guess the next question is if teachers will allow them to be used in the classrooms. I have had many debates with colleagues about students being allowed to bring mobile devices into the classroom. This is at the middle school level.

I think this app has a lot of potential. I work in a juniour high school and I find that 90% of the time students do not have a calculator with them even if they know they needed one for class. However, they always have their phones with them. hence, and app like this is perfect because they will be prepared for their math class due to it.
Calculators can be expensive this app can also help reduce that cost for parents.
I think this app is a great learning tool!!!
