My Project
IB Math is a bit of a monster for students. However, IB allows the use of advanced calculators like the Ti-Nspire. With access to these calculators, more students would be IB Diploma recipients, an achievement that would propel them to further, future success.
I teach math in the border town of Nogales, Arizona.
Funding is tight in all Title I schools, but perhaps tighter here than in most. Making things worse, many of my students wake up at 4 AM to cross the border to attend school here in the US. I admire their commitment to their education and feel they deserve the greatest amount of support that I can provide. I'm truly blessed to have such amazing students and wish to provide them with every advantage at my disposal. They deserve the best I have to offer, and they deserve better equipment!
If you're fortunate enough to be able to donate, know that these calculators would be put to great use, allowing students to navigate the complex and nuanced mathematical expectations set by IB. Success in a challenging course like IB math builds confidence, character, and a strong work ethic. The barrier between students and success should not be lack of access to appropriate technology. If you can contribute, you will be helping to break that barrier!
