My students need graphing calculators. Without them, the students will be at an extreme disadvantage when tasked with graphing systems, calculating proportions, and solving equations. Students' future ability to succeed depends on donations and caring community members. Donations to this project will assist students in becoming college and career ready. It will provide an opportunity for students to practice and use a vital mathematical tool so that they are prepared for the state exams, college, and beyond. Example 2: Students are getting caught up in their math fact fluency. When they are struggling to multiply and divide fluently they are losing out on what they are really doing. An example of this would be when I want to know my students can set up unit rates, not whether they can multiply or divide. Much like reading, if a student is stumbling over all the words, they are not hearing the message. They are going to use calculators to compute math facts when they are learning other concepts. When we stop struggling to compute, we start learning. Your generous donations are going to allow my students to grasp concepts that are based in math facts but not graded on them. This will allow students who are not as comfortable with their math facts to realize that they are not "bad" at all math, but are merely stumbling over the gaps they have in their learning. They can still climb Mt. Everest, and these calculators will fill in those gaps.
