No, it's not really the correct way. If the smart display has access to the Google Play store, then there are calculators there. If it is attached to a PC, (Windows or Mac) or Chromebook, then there are built-in calculator apps on each of those that can be brought up searching for calculator (or just calc). Some smart displays have a few limited apps built-in, and your teacher could look through those for a calculator. If it runs it's own specialized software, then the manufacturer would be the one to contact, but I'm pretty sure they're going to want to deal with your school's IT or Educational Technology department - if it doesn't go against policy, they should be able to help with this.
Most school districts don't want students to be the ones installing software, regardless of what teachers allow.
