Celebrating 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 attend a 6th through 12th grade, educational campus. As a result we as teachers get to know them really well. My students all come from low income homes and 44% are English language learners. I am a special education teacher and I serve all students including the 23% with identified disabilities. My students are mathematicians in the making!
They love to apply problem solving skills to their classroom work.
Additionally, they can use mathematical discourse to converse and determine best approaches to solve complicated real world problems. My students are disrupting assumptions about students in their socioeconomic situation. With the right resources they can reach incredible heights.
My Project
My students all come from low income households and many of their families cannot purchase the calculators they require for math class this year. Access to a scientific calculator will open up a whole new world of mathematics for my students.
I am a special education teacher and teach students with disabilities how to do grade level math work.
Having access to the required calculator for the course empowers students who have excellent problem solving skills overcome their deficits in calculation skills. Please help me open up the wonderful world of mathematics to students who have previously thought they couldn't be good at math.
More than a third 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
