Powering Problem Solvers: Calculators and More

Help me give my students the tools they need to succeed in problem-solving and higher-level thinking. To achieve this, I am requesting a class set of calculators to ensure every student has access during lessons, practice, and examples.

My Project

As a passionate mathematics teacher, I strive to give my students the tools and confidence they need to succeed in problem-solving and higher-level thinking. To achieve this, I am requesting support for essential classroom resources:

-A class set of calculators to ensure every student has access during lessons, practice, and exams.

-Mini dry-erase erase boards and markers so students can actively engage in problem-solving, show their work in real time, and receive immediate feedback.

-Easel pads to support collaborative learning, group problem-solving, and anchor charts that reinforce key concepts.

-Batteries to keep our calculators consistently ready for use.

These resources will make a direct impact on my students' learning by creating a more interactive, equitable, and supportive classroom. Having the right tools empowers students to focus on understanding math deeply, rather than worrying about access or materials.

With your support, my students will be able to approach mathematics with greater confidence, collaborate effectively, and develop problem-solving skills that will serve them far beyond the classroom.
