Help me give my students 43 scientific calculators to complete their math work.

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
I encourage my students at school to be motivated and hardworking. They constantly surprise me with their ingenuity in solving problems. I teach two Integrated Co-teaching math classes (mixture of general and special education students) with a total of 43 students. My experiences with immigrant and low-income youth over the years have confirmed that my students should deserve an equal chance as all other students to be successful. Each student in my classroom often find it difficult to take chances and feel inadequate due to their environment of learning. The students I serve do not have access to the necessary tools such as computers and calculators which they need to be successful. As a Math teacher, I hope to assist my students to improve their potential and give them the best education possible.
My Project
The work that is demanded by my students and their current ability often do not match. My students struggle with computation and this becomes a deterrent in class and at home. Using these scientific calculators on a daily basis will allow my students to understand 7th grade concepts while also making math enjoyable.
The Scientific Calculators that I am requesting will allow my students to complete their work with accuracy, so that students can validate their work.
My students need to check their work constantly to avoid careless errors. Appropriately developing their math skills instead of finding answers quickly will be my focus when using these scientific calculators.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
