My Project

As a high school math teacher, I strive to make every lesson engaging, clear, and accessible for all my students. With the newest edition of the Microsoft Surface Pro, I can bring math to life in ways that paper, whiteboards, and older devices simply can't.

The Surface Pro will allow me to model problems in real-time with digital inking, use interactive apps like Desmos during lessons, and annotate student work instantly.

Its portability means I can move around the classroom while projecting lessons, provide live feedback, and keep students focused with dynamic visuals and interactive examples.

This device will not only enhance how I teach but also how students learn, especially those who benefit from visual explanations, step-by-step modeling, and personalized support. With your help, I can better meet the diverse needs of my students and create a math classroom that’s truly interactive, modern, and effective. This is so important in the self-directed learning magnet where I teach. Students work to be independent, innovative, empathetic, and advocates. Thank you for giving me the right tools to support all learners!
