Let's Calculate!

My students need 4 TI calculator kits to have access to calculators to improve their math skills, practice math facts, solve multi-step problems, and complete problem solving tasks.

My Students

Help us calculate! When you struggle with math facts, even the simplest math tasks become difficult. With the proper tools, we can help students be more successful. Calculators will help our struggling students access more complex math problems and help them feel success.

We have a diverse population of close to 200 sixth graders.

Many of them come from homes that do not have the resources to help them be successful. They are eager to learn, but often need extra help with their education. While at school, we want to provide them with much help as we can!

My Project

I am requesting a class set of calculators to use with my sixth grade math students. With calculators in hand, my students will be able to access their grade level math standards. By using these new calculators, they will experience more success in math.

We don't have class sets of calculators for student use at our school.

Many of our students are unable to purchase calculators on their own. We would like a class set of calculators so we can do mathematical problem solving.
