My Project

Students here are living below the poverty line and can't provide for their needs. I aim to provide the highest quality instruction possible in Mathematics like Algebra 3, Precalculus, and Essential Math for College. This iPad provides instant accessibility to information, which is why its presence in the classroom is vital in dealing with math lab students and teachers create a common place where students can clarify, correct, and challenge their understanding of math. Also, using these devices in my classroom is explored to create meaningful learning experiences for my students.
