Bill > HB2929

This bill proposes to ban calculators and electronic computational devices from math classes for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The legislation would prohibit students in these grade levels from using any type of calculator or electronic device that can perform mathematical computations during their math instruction. By restricting access to these tools, the bill appears to be aimed at ensuring students develop fundamental math skills through traditional learning methods, such as manual calculation and mental math. The proposed law would apply to all math classes in K-8 settings, effectively requiring students to solve mathematical problems without technological assistance. While the bill does not provide specific rationale for the ban, it suggests a focus on foundational math skills and potentially preventing students from becoming overly reliant on technological aids during their early mathematical education.
