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
Technology is the future. My students need to master current technology to succeed in college STEM courses and their future careers!
My students are dedicated and hardworking.
My students want to succeed in school, but are held back by older, antiqued technology. Although, our physical school building is newer, most of our materials were "hand-me downs" from other area schools when we opened. Currently, most of our calculator technology is more than 15 years old! Many of my students can not afford to purchase required calculators costing $150.
My Project
Students in my Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics classes will use the new graphing calculators to facilitate deep understanding through better visualization of mathematical concepts. Students will also benefit from increased processing speed of these new calculators. Additionally, the use of a graphing calculator is required on the AP exam.
With better access to graphing calculator technology, my students will be more successful on their AP exams.
AP success will give my students a leg up in college, since students will earn college with a few credits under their belts. Additionally, better technology will make math "cool"; hopefully, leading more students to select STEM majors in college and as their career.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
