Mr. Hayano from Powell WY is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Calculators Needed for Technology Curriculum

Help me give my students a classroom set of calculators to help them calculate complex answers in their robotics and programming classes.

My Students

What I love about my kids the most is the desire to learn all there is about technology. I currently teach classes in computer programming, robotics, and Algebra 1. We also have a competitive Robotics Club that competes in the FIRST competition. We need a classroom set of calculators to speed up the process of calculating all the math that we do. We calculate distance in the coordinate plane with programming, robotics are calculating gear ratios and rotational speed.

Being from a small farming community located in rural Wyoming, we have limited resources.

This would help out all of my classes by having a classroom set of calculators. I currently let them use phones, but this leads to problems as some don't have phones and there are apps that do problems for them. This project helps me out in that area.

My Project

My class needs a classroom set of calculators so we may speed up our calculations. My tech classes are always doing math to get everything correct. For example, our robotics need to calculate distance based on the diameter of the robot's wheel and number of rotations. They also 3D print pieces and need to convert between standard and metric units. My programming classes use vectors and distance on the plane to calculate movement. My robotics club calculates gear ratios.

Having a set of calculators helps out all of my technology classes by speeding up the calculation process.

Right now the students are using their phones which is good and bad. Bad is my math students want to use apps to solve problems for them. Bad is not everyone has a phone. Good is it does have a calculator. I want it so every student has the same calculator and the same advantages and disadvantages.
