Abstract
This study investigated the impact, both academic and emotional, of phone use on tenth through twelfth grade students in a high school Advanced Algebra class. The research was carried out through comparing quizzes and the unit test scores from the second unit of the school year. The scores were compared between classes that had access to their phones and those that were required to place their phone in a holder at the start of each class period throughout the unit. The researcher also had students fill out two surveys to see how they felt the impact of not having their phones for their emotional capacity and stamina for in-class work.
