My Project

I teach AVID. In my classes, students group together to solve their problems and question by using collaborative study groups. Often, my students cannot afford graphing calculators so I would like to get a few for my classroom to help them in their Algebra class. Also, I have included portable white boards as a tool for students to use to present their questions and problems to their small group. These white boards allow them to present all the knowledge that they know about the problem and also allows them to write out their specific question.
