My Project

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and walks of life but all have one thing in common: 7th grade math can be a place where they know they will be supporting to be successful no matter what.

Help me give all my students an even playing field in math by having the most basic of math supplies: a calculator!

By supporting this project, you will help make sure that no matter the financial situation a student comes from, they will have the most basic tools to be successful in 7th grade math this year.
