Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

None of the science classes at my school have a class set of calculators. We, as a team, are writing several DonorsChoose projects in the hopes of completing a class set of 30 calculators for the Physics, Engineering, and Chemistry classes. This project funds a third of those calculators.

In order to help our students best practice their mathematical ability and calculator proficiency for large tests (like the SAT, ACT, and State Testing), it is really important that students have access to calculators.

Currently, teachers are often forced to resort to cell-phone calculators or websites. While these tools work, neither are allowed on major tests. It is much better for students to practice on the exact devices they will use later on. Also, the use of cell phones and websites can become a distraction for some students and take away from the lessons being taught.
