My Project
Having these calculators in my classroom would make a world of difference for my students. Instead of getting sidetracked by Chromebooks, they'll be able to dive right into solving complex math problems. My aim? To create a focused space during our math stations where students can work alone or team up, sharpening their computational and problem-solving skills.
Calculators are like the tools in a carpenter's belt—essential for getting the job done efficiently.
My students are amazing. They come from all sorts of backgrounds and absolutely thrive on hands-on activities. Even when things get tough, they show incredible resilience and enthusiasm. Just the other day, I watched them collaborate on a tough math puzzle, and their perseverance was inspiring.
By providing my students with calculators, I can help them zero in on the math itself. No distractions, just learning. This will empower them to reach their full potential and tackle more challenging concepts with confidence.
More than half of students from low‑income households
