House Bill 2929 aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by introducing a new section, 18-5-52, which prohibits the use of calculators and electronic computational devices in math classes for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The bill emphasizes the importance of traditional math skills by banning these devices in K-8 classrooms, thereby encouraging students to develop their mathematical abilities without reliance on technology.

The proposed legislation specifically states that the use of calculators and related devices is prohibited for this age group, reinforcing the intent to enhance foundational math skills among young learners. This initiative reflects a growing concern about the over-reliance on technology in education and aims to ensure that students acquire essential computational skills during their formative years.
