CalcSteps: a calculator assistant app for cultivating mathematics education

As technology plays a more significant role in the teaching and learning environment, numerous educational applications for mathematics are used. Calculators are highly accommodating to user needs and essential in education, particularly for mathematics. Sometimes users are struggling to find the correct steps in solving mathematics questions using scientific calculators due to the multiple steps required to obtain the correct solution. Hence, the objective of CalcSteps focuses on assisting users in using a calculator properly for mathematics questions involving factorization, roots, and exponent operations. CalcSteps was developed using Flutter and Dart languages, with Visual Studio Code as its development environment. It includes step-by-step instructions for two types of calculators, which are the Casio fx-570EX and the Casio fx-570MS. Findings show that the application is very convenient in assisting users with the correct technique to utilize the calculators for several mathematical problems. It is user-friendly, as it is applicable for phone or computer and accessible anywhere without an internet connection.
