Teaching college-level calculus to high school students is both challenging and incredibly rewarding. One of my favorite moments as a teacher is watching a student go from feeling completely lost to suddenly understanding a difficult concept. Thanks to your support, I have new tools to help create more of those moments.\r\n\r\nThe two TI-84 graphing calculators provide students with access to technology that is essential for exploring functions, analyzing graphs, and connecting mathematical concepts to real-world applications. They also ensure that students who may not have their own calculators can participate fully in classroom activities. The Wacom graphics tablet allows me to write equations, demonstrate solutions, and illustrate complex concepts on our classroom screen while moving around the room and interacting with students. This makes instruction more flexible and creates more opportunities for students to participate in the problem-solving process.\r\n\r\nWhat excites me most is the opportunity to make calculus more accessible without sacrificing the rigor of a college-level course. I want my students to see mathematics as something they can explore, question, and understand, not simply a collection of formulas to memorize.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and in public education. Your generosity means so much, and these resources will continue benefiting students for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1784638961986,"projectUrl":"project/making-calculus-click-tools-for-college/10252280/","projectTitle":"Making Calculus Click: Tools for College-Level Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sayin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10490535_orig.png?crop=288,288,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777731571962","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10490535"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43971","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":727,"numTeachers":100,"percentFrplEligible":5,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"7.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":40.0,"schoolId":43971,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Daniel Hand High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Daniel Hand High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/madison-public-school-district/daniel-hand-high-school/43971"}
