My Students
My students are from the communities of Kailua and Waimanalo. I have students ranging from immigrant families from the Pacific Islands, military, while about half of our students are from low-income households. I love the dynamics of my students!
With students coming from different backgrounds, one of my most important goal is to find tools that will help my students learn the importance of Math and be engaged in the process.
My Project
My students are finally returning to the classroom after a year of distance learning! We all know that every student learns differently. In Math, some students learn best by writing out their thoughts, process to solve certain problems using paper/pencil, whiteboards, etc. Some learn best by using manipulatives such as Algebra tiles where they use physical objects to solve math problems, while some are able to grasp the abstract ideas of Math immediately. It is important for students to be able to share their way of solving Math, while exploring and connecting different ideas/ways from their peers to solve a math problem.
Students will deepen their learning and understanding by being able to showcase their work by using the tablets to capture, edit, and share their work digitally while keeping them and their loved ones safe!
By donating to our project, students will have the tools they need to succeed by being able to share their ideas/work while keeping everyone safe, reducing the risk of COVID 19 transmission from contaminated surfaces, students will be submitting their work digitally.
More than half of students from low‑income households
