Your donation, along with the incredible support from General Motors and the cast of Young Sheldon on CBS, has provided our students with essential tools that are more than just devices; they're gateways to enhanced learning and exploration in mathematics.\r\n\r\n1. Improved Learning Outcomes: With these calculators, our students have demonstrated a marked improvement in their understanding and application of mathematical concepts. They're now more confident in tackling complex problems, leading to higher test scores and better classroom engagement.\r\n\r\n2. Enhanced Critical Thinking Skills: The calculators have fostered an environment where students can experiment and explore various mathematical theories and hypotheses. This has greatly enhanced their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.\r\n\r\n3. Increased Classroom Participation: The availability of these tools has encouraged more students to participate actively in class. They feel more prepared and eager to engage in discussions, ask questions, and contribute to group work.\r\n\r\n4. Support for Diverse Learning Needs: The calculators have been instrumental in supporting students with different learning needs. Whether it's students who need extra help or those who are ready to tackle advanced problems, these tools have made math more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.\r\n\r\n5. Practical Real-World Applications: Our students have been able to apply their mathematical knowledge to real-world scenarios more effectively. This practical approach has made learning more relevant and exciting, preparing them for future academic and career success.\r\n\r\nThe calculators have notably boosted our students' engagement and enthusiasm for math. They are now more willing to explore new concepts and tackle challenging problems without hesitation. The hands-on experience has made abstract theories more tangible and comprehensible.\r\n\r\nWith these calculators, I was able to introduce more advanced topics and interactive lessons that would have been challenging without the right tools. Students could work on group projects that required detailed calculations, and we could simulate real-world scenarios, making the learning experience far more dynamic and effective.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your invaluable support. Your contribution, along with the support from General Motors and Young Sheldon on CBS, has made a significant difference in our students' educational journey, and we are immensely grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1699469733991,"projectUrl":"project/scientific-calculators-for-at-promise-gi/7773678/","projectTitle":"Scientific Calculators for At-Promise Girls","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hilt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9245196_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719273936109","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9245196"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_108178","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":64,"numTeachers":5,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":108178,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pace Center for Girls - Clay on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pace Center for Girls - Clay","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/clay-county-school-district/pace-center-for-girls-clay/108178"}
