HB 2929 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

To ban calculators and math computational devices from K-8 grade classrooms.

This bill would prohibit the use of calculators and similar math-computational devices in all math classes for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. It directly affects K-8 students and their math teachers by requiring them to rely on manual calculation methods instead of such tools. The key provision bans these devices in all K-8 math instruction, replacing current classroom practices where calculators are often permitted for certain exercises. The bill does not include exceptions or specify how this change would be implemented.
