My Students

We live in a rural community where my students come from low economic homes. I tell my students that in our classroom they can be anything they want. They do not have to let their home life hold them back. They are hard working and dedicated students. They want to try their best and they work hard every day to achieve that goal. Our students however, need to be equipped with the correct tools to succeed. We need your help.

My Project

Let’s face it – we live in a society that is always changing thanks to the plethora of ever-advancing technology. Technology is huge and learning how to use such technology is huge – which is why it’s good for students to have an understanding of how to use a calculator. Students in 7th and 8th grade in regular, advanced, pre-algebra and algebra classes get to use this calculator on 2 parts of Florida's FSA Assessment.

We want to allow the students to use the same type of calculator on the test during class.

We want students to be able to accurately use this tool to their advantage. Calculators help our students in their pursuit of mathematical literacy.
