Calculators for Kids

A student named Mary did her own research to find some activities for kids to use calculators.

She came across this article (http://www.mortgagecalculator.org/helpful-advice/calculators-for-kids.php) and she found it to be very useful and convenient.

Not only are their math games, but different calculators for kids as well. She learned a lot while having fun at the same time!

She wanted me to share it with you and thought it would make a great addition to this site.

THANKS MARY!!!
