Perfect Practice Makes Perfect #2

Help me give my students the ability to practice with the graphing calculators.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Maddix's classroom raised $809

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach at a Title I School in North Carolina. A recent study places our city 50 out of 50 for social mobility. This means that a child of color born into poverty, has less than a 5% chance of making it out of poverty. I teach because I believe that my students can succeed if given the opportunity. I believe my students can and will break down barriers and defy the stereotypes. A proper math education is one route to this dream. '

My students are hardworking and dedicated to their success.

The road is not always easy; my students face issues outside of the classroom every day. My goal is to make sure that they feel safe and learn to love math. I want my students to have the same opportunities as any other child in America. They deserve nothing but the best. I believe in them. I wouldn't do this job if I didn't.

My Project

This project is simple. The goal is for my students to have all of the materials they need to practice math every day. The pencils and Dry Erase Markers will help my students practice, as well as help me as the teacher monitor learning through various exercises. I would like additional calculators for students to check out for homework when needed.

I don't want my students to worry about supplies, I want them to focus on what really matters- the learning.

With your help we can alleviate the stress of the small stuff, and work towards transformational change.

Thank you for all your support, my students and I truly appreciate it.
