The Fancy Calculator-
In the classroom, students may use this site to check their work. Before allowing students to access this site, I would require each student to show me their worksheet. Once checked for participation and all the questions are filled in, I would put a star on the top of their paper, essentially giving permission for the student to use a tablet/computer.
