In Fifth Grade, students are required to apply the algorithm for finding volume as well as solving for unknowns such as height when the total volume and base of a rectangular prism are known.
Students are expected to use real-world objects, which often require measurements that do not always include integers. Utilizing calculators will help students focus on the concept of volume rather than being distracted by the minutiae of repeated and complicated computation.
Students will also be able to utilize calculators when finding trial averages during data collection in scientific experiments and exercises. Calculators will aid students in being more accurate and more efficient in analyzing data.
