My Project

Hello! I am setting up this Donor's Choose project to replenish my classroom's calculators. We started off the year strong, but the calculators that we currently have are broken and missing parts to the point where I do not have enough for my entire class to do their work. This becomes tricky as a 7th grade math teacher, where calculators are a necessity in our classroom. I want to give my students the same materials as they would get in more affluent settings, which includes basic math supplies to support their learning.
