My Project
Our students have difficulty keeping up with scientific calculators. Having a classroom set will allow me to keep them safe and organized. This will give them more opportunities to work through more math problems and experiences. Students will also be able to understand and utilize more functions on the calculator for their current and future math classes. Having caddies and a wall organizer will also allow students to stay organized and be accountable for their resources. Having space for the students to be able to show their work and teach others will be inviting to the others in their grade. Showing their thought process allows others to see the multiple ways calculating and coming to a reasonable answer can be done in different ways. Also, using the boards will allow the students to work in groups to collaborate with others and show their work. The main reason for each of these supplies is for students to come to class and have the necessary materials, and participate in class to the fullest. Having these materials will also assist the class in keeping pace with the yearly schedule planned for the year.
