Celebrate 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

My students rise to any given challenge. Although COVID has set them a good 1 to 1.5 years behind grade level, they are determined to fight on. I admire my students because they ask questions, face challenges, and work together to solve problems.

My students are puzzle solvers.

They push each other to do better and don't let word problems scare them. I can only hope to provide them with the tools necessary to succeed using the skills they continue to build. They deserve the very best.

My Project

Since students worked from home last year, they did not really get a chance to learn calculator skills. Now that they are back in person, I would like them to learn how to use a calculator, especially one that has more than just basic numbers and operations, so they are ready for a graphing calculator in high school. This will address most of the seventh grade standards but especially 7.NS and 7.EE.

My students do not know how to use a calculator because they haven't had a physical one to practice on.

That's why it is important for my classroom to get new scientific calculators. Hopefully these tools will help them catch up to the current grade level and push them even further into the next grade.
