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 electronic computational devices is prohibited for students in math classes from kindergarten through the eighth grade." This move is intended to enhance foundational math skills among young learners, ensuring they grasp essential concepts before advancing to higher levels of education where such tools may be more appropriate.
