My Students

I love working with my students in my math classes(Algebra and Pre-Algebra). I have a great Co-teacher, who works with me to help some very tough, struggling kids. My students are great students with some physical struggles (ADD and ADHD and Autism) that effect their academic abilities because of the need for abundant movement or fidget toys. The best part of my job is watching my kids learn math and make sense of it with the real world. They persevere with the challenges and ask for help. They come to school and find something to laugh about—and it makes my day!

We are given a classroom set of calculators for our/my math students but I do not have enough to check them out or even replace the broken ones.

If you are able to help provide some funding for me to purchase some TI-34XS calculators-this would be so helpful! I can then check out these calculators for students who are in need of a calculator, in order to learn, for home.

My Project

My students are in need of taking home a calculator, to assist them with completely work. I only have a class set and have to check out a calculator each day and if the students does not bring it back the next day-I’m short and do not have enough calculators for classroom. Any help is appreciated!

My students are low income and as much as I try to ask them or encourage them to purchase their own calculator for home, many do not have the extra funds.

If I can get enough calculators, of the same type, it is easier to help students learn how the programming works with the algebra I’m teaching.
