28. Calculator Use Policy Grades 3 & 4:
All sessions – no calculator (*)
Grades 5-8 & 10:
One session – no calculator
Remaining sessions – calculator required
Calculator Specifications:
Grades 5-8: 4-function calculator, no advantage using higher powered calculator
Grade 10: scientific calculator
Districts may opt to allow scientific or graphing calculators at all levels (5-8 & 10), but must assure that memory is disabled on graphing calculators.
Calculators with QWERTY keyboards, infra-red capabilities, or memory disks may not be used.
29. Two situations
Computation/non-calculator sessions
No calculator use – the same for everyone
Problem solving sessions
Grades 3 and 4 – calculator use with an IEP only Calculator Use Policy – Students with Disabilities
