Incorporating Technology to Make Math Real

My students need a LCD Projector in learning math in order to make the connection between math and real-life problems.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. N.'s classroom raised $1,006

This project is fully funded

My Students

Imagine that you have software but no hardware or simply you have a CD but not a CD player. We are exactly in such a situation. We have supplementary CDs but nothing to work with. If you ask my students what technology is in my classroom, they would answer a graphing calculator or overhead projector.

I teach mostly juniors and seniors in a high-need visual & performing arts magnet school.

My students come into my classroom with a wide range of both academic and artistic talents and really thrive when the lessons are infused with visuals. I cannot express to you how difficult it is to do that with only an overhead projector. My students take trigonometry/analytical geometry, college algebra & trigonometry as well as advanced algebra, all of which are woven with concepts related to real-life applications. Given to their artistic background, most of my students want to see the connection of math to real-life situations and ask "Where am I going to use this?" Without using the right technology, I always find it very difficult to practically answer their legitimate questions albeit I always try my best. Honestly speaking, most students think that math is some giant out there that merely deals with “x’s & y’s”. They do not think that math is real as they didn't see it yet! Please help out!

My Project

Having the LCD projector in my room would mean a lot to my students and me. I will not only teach or tell the importance or application of math in real-life but I will be able to practically show them using simulations, animations, power-point presentations. We will use the supplementary CDs/videos of the textbooks for our classes, etc. Students will use power-point presentations for their projects/assignments. My utmost goal is to prepare my students for college education and be competitive in the technologically dynamic society we live. I want to make my classroom appealing to students so that students will come with excitement and positive attitude to learn math, appreciate education and be passionate about learning math. I want to show my students that math is not only a bunch of letters and numbers but real! We will use a lot of on line resources, math videos, power-point presentations, Excel solvers, and apply to real-life problems pertaining to their dreamed fields.

Your support will play a significant and major role in the future of my students.

An LCD projector will allow my students to visually see and experience the practicality of Math to their real-life. With your support, I have no doubt that I will inspire my students with videos, visual aids and applications. We will incorporate on line resources of some of their favorite colleges/universities and visualize them. Stretch your hands & make my students' dreams come true; Show them that math is real!
