Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My 9th Algebra students see themselves as failures in math and in my classroom, failures do not exist.

Basic operations can be very challenging to some people. My students easily get confused with signed numbers and that alone won't allow them to move on because they are so caught on that fact.

With the help of TI-83 graphing calculators, students will feel more confident in being able to try out more challenging math topics. TI 83 calculators can also be used on the state regents, which is great because there are many shortcuts on this calculator that can be taught to students.

My students will be forever grateful to know that there are people in this world that do want them to succeed. Many of them do not feel they can succeed and these calculators will bring them one step closer, along with my assistance.
