My students need the ability to connect the math we learn to the real world concepts.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gray's classroom raised $1,050
This project is fully funded
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.
My Students
I work at a low income school, but we are exceptional in every way. This is our second year with 7 Star Distinction that only four other schools have earned in our Independent School District, which is comprised of 300 schools. Our school was given an A rating by the Houston Chronicle for our success with serving low income student in the Houston area. This shows the dedication that my students have to achieve success in their lives.
I have been able to have 90% of my students to become successful on the 8th grade Math STAAR test despite what other may consider a bad stacked hand.
Most schools in my district have only around 60% pass the 8th grade Math STAAR test. My students been able to overcome despite low income families, extreme family issues, and negative influences every day. I know that my students want the best for themselves; therefore, I put my best foot forward every day. Hopefully, everyone is able to see that I teach a exceptionable set of students and they need the best education available.
My Project
I have students that are constantly asking me when will we every need this in real life. It is a difficult task to show the students that I teach how math is important in the real world when they don't see the importance of math outside of basic computation skills. Most of my students are smart and have the ability to major in any of the STEM professions.
The IPad Pro will allow me to develop lesson that show how we use many of our math concepts in the real world.
I will also be able to allow my students to experience engaging lessons and inquiry based learning activities. This will allow them to develop concept and have a long term memory of how these concept work.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
