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 Students

My New York City English Language Learning students are nearly 400 years behind today's business world! The pencil was invented in 1564. We NEED your support to escape the binds of 16th century technology and move past pencils and paper, and onto more sustainable, appealing methods of learning.

We go to school literally MINUTES FROM WALL STREET!

It does not stand to reason that Math students go without consistent access to the wealth of economic and financial statistics that abound, minutes from our school! We attend an urban middle school full of dedicated, but economically disadvantaged students. Though we study the quantitative effects and social justice issues surrounding historical economic conditions, we need a direct connection to the world around us in order to make more informed and aware academic decisions.

My Project

Introducing an iPad to my students will allow them to visualize math in vivid graphs, in their using OmniGraphSketcher. Their double-line graphs will come to life with your help! An iPad will provide my students with continuous access to relevant quantitative data in the form of economic indicators, and will be like having a REAL TIME STOCK TICKER IN THE CLASSROOM! Contemporary students need to feel a powerful connection to concepts of Number Sense, Operations, and a meaningful exploration of Statistics. What better way to do so than with current technology?

As a teacher with a background in Finance and Economics, I envision facilitating a full curriculum that uses Statistics in a meaningful manner to develop stronger Number Sense among struggling students.

This project will help my students engage in profound studies of economic structures. With OmniGraphSketcher, students will use new technology to display data that will support their economic literacy as well as develop their innovative and entrepreneurial minds, but ONLY WITH YOUR HELP!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
