My students need 9 Chromebooks and power strips so that they can explore mathematical relationships using interactive websites like Desmos or Kahoot.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are hard working and optimistic about the future. Our school strives to promote and cultivate a college-ready mindset in every student because only a quarter of of my students report having a family member attend college.
If you ask my students what motivates them to succeed, they would talk about their family.
Despite facing many challenges, my students come to school ready to learn and be their best in order to make themselves, their family, and their community proud. Every day I am humbled that I get to be their teacher because they recognize the power of education.
My Project
I will use the Chromebooks to get students actively engaged in discovering mathematical relationships. Using various websites, students will be able interact with math using multiple modalities. For example, students will use Desmos to investigate functions, transformations, and solve equations. Access to Deltamath will allow students the ability to practice problems at their own pace and display mastery of various mathematical skills. The use of technology will engage students and allow them to access the curriculum in new ways. The power strips will be used to charge the Chromebooks so that they are ready to use every day.
Technological literacy is a critical skill in the 21st century.
Chromebooks will provide students with an opportunity to develop their technological skills as they research, explore, and report their findings. This tool will develop their technological fluency.
More than half of students from low‑income households
