My Students
I am a mathematics teacher and have an amazing group of students ranging in grades from 7th to 12th. My students are eager to learn and a joy to have in class, but unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected their educational experience over the past two years. Our school is small and close-knit. I've seen firsthand the struggles these students have faced! From adjusting to learning math virtually, suffering through school absences due to illness and quarantine, and experiencing the devasting loss of family members, the past two years have been anything but normal. Our school has made great strides in teaching virtually but unfortunately, educational gaps were inevitable!
My students also face economic challenges where more than ninety percent are on Free and Reduced Breakfast and Lunch Plans.
Most of them cannot afford to purchase their own personal calculator. They depend on supplies such as calculators to be provided for them.
My Project
My project focuses primarily on 7th and 8th-grade students. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, these students were in the 5th and 6th grade. They essentially missed an entire nine weeks of math instruction. Unfortunately, the pandemic didn’t end and again the following year, these students missed instruction as well.
My goal is for these students to feel confident in mathematics again.
These students are still struggling with basic calculations and this can be avoided with calculators. In addition to calculators, these students need Geometric shapes, compasses, and rulers to better understand and apply grade-level Geometry concepts. Another useful tool for my classroom includes computer speakers. I have a desktop computer in my classroom but no speakers. This would enable me to show educational videos for more variety in instruction. I want these students to learn higher-level math problems and understand how math applies to the real world around them in fun, hands-on, creative ways without spending all of their time on numerical calculations.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
