Graphing Calcs for Stats Students

My students need six graphing calculators to be prepared for exams in AP Stats. The course offers college credit and also is preparation for more advanced math courses.

My Students

Students at our school have chosen to participate in a rigorous mathematics program. By taking AP Stats they are building strong foundations of math knowledge that will prepare them for college and to continue on to more advanced math courses. Daily calculator use is integral to building these foundations. My goal is for all of my students to be able to be successful in college-level math courses.

The school offers a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) program where all students take 4 years of math, science, and humanities, as well as 4 years of pathway classes that focus on Engineering, Computer Science, or Biomedical.

Our school serves a high poverty urban community. We are a diverse community of learners coming from many socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. Unlike students in other under-served communities, nearly half of our students are able to access AP Statistics or AP Calculus by their senior year. We are preparing many students of color and low income students for college and careers in STEM fields. We need these calculators for all students to succeed in AP Math!

My Project

My students need graphing calculators to be prepared for exams AP Stats that give them an opportunity for college credit and prepare them for more advanced classes. My instruction leads students to: 1) Gain proficiency and accuracy in the necessary statistics and probability skills and 2) Be able to interpret and decide which skills they will need to use. We need graphing calculators so that all students can meet these goals.

The only thing that is lacking here is funding.

I've been using the same set of graphing calculators ever since I have been working in this room, and now the calculators are starting to malfunction of the buttons are being rubbed off! There is no funding to replace this necessary piece of technology and our students do not have the resources to purchase their own. We need this resource so that all students have an opportunity to earn college credit for the course.
