Use a Talking/Large Number Calculator with Weaker Visual Skills

If your student has difficulty seeing or pressing the small buttons on a standard calculator

How To Apply It!

  1. The big, bright buttons and larger digital displays help bring numbers into focus on large number calculators.
  2. Talking calculators are best for students with very limited eyesight. Numbers and symbols are spoken back as you enter them so you can be sure you typed correctly.
  3. You might need a teacher's permission to use these alternative types of calculators.
  4. Here is one option on amazon.

Why It Works (the Science Of Learning)!

These calculators are best to help students with weak visual skills be able to clearly see/work with numbers, similarly to enlarging font on a digital book.
