My Project

My 8th-grade math classes are filled with bright young minds ready to explore the depths of mathematics. However, many of my students lack access to essential tools like calculators, hindering their ability to fully engage with complex concepts. By providing calculators to each student, we can empower them to delve deeper into mathematical exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Your support will ensure that every student in my 8th grade class has the necessary resources to excel in math and reach their full potential.

By funding this project, you will be ensuring every student has equal access to a calculator and provide a way for me to keep track them!

Your contribution to this project will make a meaningful difference in the lives of my students. Whether you can donate $5, $10, or more, every contribution will bring us closer to our goal of providing calculators to each student. Together, we can empower these young mathematicians to reach new heights and unlock their full potential in the world of mathematics. Thank you for your support!

Ms. Erickson will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 21.
