Mechanical numpad is a thing. This is a popular one, you can also get it in blue or red switch.
Dank! What numpad is that?
EDIT: Found it
There's cheap Numberpads on Amazon with Gateron switches like [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/Promotion-Mechanical-Backlight-Magicforce-Qisan/dp/B01MZ4Z2DK?crid=3EWF91TMB5K88&keywords=number+pad+mechanical&qid=1536011076&sprefix=Numberpad+mech&sr=8-1&ref=mp_s_a_1_1). That's much cheaper and easier to find than entire boards with the numpad on the left.
Hmmm, you know there are num pads that can even be a calculator?
Look at the Ducky Pocket, or this one made for data entry.
The best num pad might not be attached to your keyboard.
Not this cheap but not outrageous as most.

Magicforce21, while a Jellycomb is even cheaper but only blue switches.
There's the Jelly Comb one already mentioned in the comments if you're after a cheap one, it's the one I personally have. Downside is that it doesn't use standard numlock size keys (note the top row and the plus button. Comes in black or white (black one is most common), with Outemu Blue switches.
Another cheap option is the Velocifire numpad, it's wireless (2.4 ghz USB dongle) with Outemu Blue switches. It has a 4 1x1 key top row and only comes in black.
For something a bit nicer there's the Ducky Pocket, comes in various Cherry MX switches, it's wired and has a LED display, RGB backlighting, doubleshot PBT keys. It only comes in black and has a top row of 4 1x1 size keys (not sure which row, probably R4?).
Personally though I'd advise against going with the first two options as Outemu Blue switches are loud (same with any clicky switch) which wouldn't go over too well in a classroom environment.
edit: I just noticed that the Qisan (Magicforce) numpad is in stock on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Portable-Extended-Magicforce-Qisan/dp/B073WB83RQ/

Gateron Browns, comes in white or black.
I've seen a lot of people recommend this one. Looks like it fits your bill.
Good luck!
How would you compare the NK01 to say the Jelly Comb or the MF21? Clearly the MF21 uses gateron switches, so that's a plus if you don't want clicky blues but if you used either of them that'd be interesting. Also, I don't particularly care about their cap quality since they'll all be pretty meh and I intend to add a GMK numpad set.
Budget?
There's the Ducky Pocket, which can also be used as a calculator.
For a less-expensive option, maybe the Magicforce numpad. I don't really know if it's good or bad, but a lot of people like the Magicforce 68.
Pro M is good, it's just the keycaps that kinda suck. They aren't any worse than most others though.
You could also try a separate numpad and position it wherever's most comfortable.
I'd recommend:

Here's the link. They also make it in different colors with different switches. Do note that it doesn't come with a detachable cable.
As an accountant (A&A), I recommend this instead. Unless the RGB is worth the extra $30. Gateron browns rather than cherry, half the price, and I can't imagine a situation in which you'd need a pocket calculator as opposed to being within 24" of a computer. Ofc, /u/gizzardgullet posted that his wife rarely has hers plugged in...I didn't go into accounting because of my imagination! I also may have an irrational distaste for wireless things.
