My Students

My students come from lower income households who have the challenges of overcoming home budgets and school budgets. Most of them show up to school everyday eager to learn. I am astounding by their compassion for each other and me as the teacher.

They power through the adversity that they face everyday, family members being killed, being incarcerated, and homelessness.

My students don't know how much they inspire me. The stories they want to share, the stories of my life they want me to share. The best part of my students is how protective they are of the learning environment to make sure that our classroom is a safe place to learn.

My Project

Algebra 1 students will use graphing calculators to explore functions including linear, quadratic, and exponential. The graphing calculators allows students to see the similarities and differences between functions. Students will be able to see the differences between negative, positive, and zero slopes of linear functions. Students will be able to compare characteristics of linear functions that have different y-intercepts that have real world connections of initial fees vs no initial fees.

Trigonometric functions in geometry are solved using graphing calculators, real world applications deal with building of ramps for the handicap and length of ladders to fight fires.

Finding the distance and midpoints of line segments. Calculating the Pythagorean Theorem and using angle measurements, slopes, and lengths to prove what type is the given quadrilateral.

Graphing calculators are the difference between driving and flying. Yes my students can still solve the problems without graphing calculators but to compete with students nationally they should have access to the same tools.
