Calculate to Success

My students need 7 TI-84 graphing calculators.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thompson's classroom raised $1,094

This project is fully funded

I teach high school students in a high-need community. We spend our class periods learning Algebra, Geometry and Statistics.

Our high school is only three years old and we are still feeling the growing pains of acquiring supplies. We would love to get these students in to the best colleges possible and that means preparing them for the tests they will have to take to qualify.

By providing every student in the room with a scientific calculator, the students will be able to prepare adequately for the standardized tests they must take. They will get used to using the added functions and exploring the abilities of the machine.

Please provide these students with this essential tool to success. Help us calculate our way to high school graduation and the colleges of their dreams.
