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.
I teach 7th grade math at a fabulous middle school. We are a low-income school with mostly minority students.
Since the majority of our students come from low-income families, most of them do not own their own calculators. I think that being able to effectively use technology is necessary for my students to succeed. I believe that students in poverty deserve the same resources as students from wealthy families. A calculator is a small but significant resource.
I wish that I could buy all of my 150 students their own calculators, but instead I am asking for a class set that I will be able to use for years to come. I chose this specific calculator because it has a two line display, so the students can see what they typed and the answer at the same time. This will help them (and me) to identify mistakes. It is also a solar calculator, so I will not have to replace them for many years!
With your help my students can take advantage of a technology that wealthier students are already accustomed to using. Let's give these disadvantaged students a resource to help them succeed!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
