Help me give my students computers so that they can work at their own levels. Dry erase markers will allow the students to collaborate their ideas.

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 have 350 dedicated math students who are part of an amazing blended learning program that wants to learn by doing.
My students' lives are hard enough - math needs to be fun and meaningful to them.
Some live in shelters, some are the main caretakers for younger siblings, and some do not know where their next meal is going to come from. Despite all of this, students come to my math class wanting to learn. Even with all of this hardship, my students are determined to succeed. Last year, our students grew an average of 1.4 grade levels in one school year. This year, I want all of my students to grow 1.6 grade levels.
My Project
We all know with learning comes frustration, and to master two years worth of material in one year is no easy task. Help ease the math anxiety that comes with quadratic functions by supplying students with easily erasable materials. Let them show the pride in their math ideas by displaying them easily to others. With these dry erase materials I have requested, students will be able to work in small teams or receive instructional support from me without constantly having to erase their mistakes. Dry erase markers will allow the students to practice graphing without getting frustrated, crinkling up their graph paper, and eventually giving up.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
