it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Calculators are vital tools for encouraging students' mathematical curiosity and conceptual understanding. In my classes, students solve grade level problems and need calculators to help them stay focused on higher-order thinking rather than computation. My students work in groups of four and they currently have one calculator per group and they take very good care of them. 30 calculators will provide each student in my classes with a calculator. The supply boxes will ensure the calculators are organized along with other necessary school supplies such as pencils, rulers, protractors, and erasers.
