Tools for the Trade! Math Needs Calculators!

Help me give my students the proper tools to crunch numbers with. Math is not always fun, but it is a lot easier when you have the right tools. We need calculators to work on!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Shute's classroom raised $700

This project is fully funded

My Project

I work at a school in North Philadelphia for students with behavioral issues. We are the type of school that needs to spend money on basic needs of students and sometimes tech takes a back seat, but these kids need the proper tools to be able to crunch numbers regularly.

The calculators we have are all getting beat up and really only have the basic functions on it.

The calculators I have requested best suit the needs of our student body. They will be able to use them in all math classes from Algebra 1 and 2, and also Geometry. We will also be able to use them in other areas, such as Science class and SAT Prep.
