My Students
I teach in a low income/high poverty middle school, but you'd never know it. Most of my kids come to school excited and hungry for learning and I do my best to prepare thrilling lessons for them and create activities for them that they might not otherwise get to do.
They are fearless when it comes to technology and, as children of the 21st century, they need to be prepared to use a variety of tools to engage their world.
My Project
By having calculators available to students, they will be able to solve accurately math problems. They'll be able to use better technology if they have a Texas Instrument calculator that allows for more functions as opposed to a cheaper calculator purchased from the dollar store. Using a calculator in class will also help my students to feel more confident in their problem solving skills with a calculator. Since most of my students come from low income families, having a calculator such as the one I have requested at their fingertips will be such a great help to them as they navigate the solving real world problems in mathematics.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
