How to use the Calculator

Written by Maarten

The Calculator tool lets you show calculations directly on the interactive whiteboard. You can use it as support while solving problems, or to teach students how to use a calculator correctly.

How it works:

  1. Open the calculator on the board.

  2. Click the number and operation buttons to enter a calculation.

  3. Press the = button to display the result.

  4. The last entered math problem will remain visible in the display.

  5. Press the red C button to clear the screen and start again.

Settings:

  1. Open Settings to choose how numbers are displayed.

  2. Select the separator style that fits your lesson:

    • Comma for thousands and point for decimals (1,000.00)

    • Point for thousands and comma for decimals (1.000,00)

💡Tip: Use the calculator as a class-check tool. Let students solve a problem on their own first, then use the calculator together to confirm the answer. This helps them build both calculation skills and calculator confidence.
