My Students
AP Calculus and AP Statistics tests both require students to use a graphing calculator. Students that don't have one are at a disadvantage in class and when they are testing.
Ours is a public high school with a very diverse student body.
The diversity can be seen in both the ethnicity and economic levels of our students. However, all of them want to succeed and do well. There are many students that want to take AP classes but the costs of these classes can hold them back.
My Project
Having these calculators will allow me to loan them out to students that need them. A student will not be kept from doing well in my AP math classes simply because they cannot afford a calculator. They will be able to check one out for the year as they do their text book and also use them in class. Having them available to the students will ensure that they are familiar technology when it comes time to take their AP tests.
Our school has many students that want to succeed in AP classes.
However, for quite a few of these students the cost of the tests and the costs of the supplies necessary for the classes keeps them from trying. No student should be kept from succeeding because they can't afford a calculator.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
