Help me give my students math lessons that they can apply to the real world. The use of this laptop will be able to help me create fun and engaging lessons for my students to love math more!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. LA Tutaan's classroom raised $888
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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 teach a high school special education class in the Bay Area, California. Despite the need for extensive support for learning, my students are highly committed and invested in continuously learn through our daily virtual classes. Some of the skills that we are learning this semester are functional academics, personal care, and independent living skills. By attending our virtual online classes, students do not only learn and practice functional academic skills in English and Math, they also learn how to prepare healthy meals, how to help with household chores (making their beds every morning, washing the dishes or clothes, taking out the trash, etc.), how to work out and enjoy other recreational activities, and practice relevant social skills.
My Project
With the help of this multi-featured equipment, students with special needs will be able to experience fun and novel lessons that focus on how they can use math in the real world.
Children with special needs also need to prepare for life after school and being critical thinkers and financially responsible will be a big step for them in being independent individuals.
By the use of this laptop, I can create relatable and realistic lessons that not only can challenge them but give them the opportunity to communicate, collaborate, and be creative. Giving them the confidence to be humble and accept mistakes with grace.
