Increase the Probability! Increase the Potential!

My students need nine Kindles to link with our SmartBoard technology to answer questions, create mathematical situations, and share their ideas.

My Students

Our school is a public college prep charter school that exists specifically to offer high-quality educational opportunities to inner-city students.

My students are the anomalies.

They come from diverse, inner-city backgrounds and have had inconsistent schooling experiences throughout elementary and middle school. Many arrive from settings in which they are expected to fail and with skills that are far below grade level. However, rather than be swept along with the crowd, they choose to attend a rigorous college prep charter school for grades 9-12. In four years, they transform from under-confident, under-performing freshmen to high-achieving seniors ready to succeed in college. Indeed, 98-100% of our senior class graduates and goes on to higher education. By the time they get to my AP English Language class their junior year, they've generally bought into the school's mission and can see their work paying off. Because they can see the value of this education, they are willing to work hard and give it a fair chance. Though the work is long and demanding, they buckle down to get it done, and as a result, they master it.

My Project

The nine Kindle Fire tablets will be used every day in our math classes. Each class has an average of 24 students. We currently have six Kindles for the entire class. By adding nine Kindles we significantly increase the student to Kindle ratio. This improved ratio means less time spent waiting to share a device and more time learning from what the device has to offer. Students will use these tablets to participate in collaborative group work, better prepare for high stakes testing, receive immediate feedback for their work, and so much more.

Students love technology; technology in math class will help students love math.

These tablets allow students to see the exciting possibilities mathematics has to offer, use larger and more complex math problems, and help prepare them for college-level work.
