Your contribution has meant so much to our students here at Sabin. They were over-joyed when the boxes of books started arriving.

They used the information given on their family card to write an equation showing how many hours they would need to work in order to afford the apartments they wanted for their family. I adapted activities to include housing prices in our neighborhood and got to have some rich discussions where students connected the situations they read to their lived experience.\r\n\r\nDuring this lesson, I saw my students get so much more comfortable with algebra than they ever had been before this year.
