Rock Out Algebra 1

My students need expo markers to use with their individual white boards for classwork. The binders and dividers are for notes/assignments that will be neatly organized.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Despite their zip code, I am determined to help my students succeed in high school and set them up in 9th/10th grade for college. These very basic materials will help me to hold my students to higher expectations in the classroom while making group work, assignments and note-taking easier.

My school is a Title 1 school, meaning it has a student population that is 70% free and reduced lunch.

The majority of my students are living at the poverty level. 53% of students in our state do not take the classes they need to get into a university. I intend to break that trend by creating strong relationships with students and their families, and educating them on why they should be striving to take upper-level math and science courses in high school. Part of this will be making sure my Algebra 1 classroom is as effective as possible.

My Project

This summer, I had the opportunity to work in a well-supplied school where each student was given a small whiteboard and expo marker. This allowed us to incorporate math games, competitions, group work, and guided practice in a more efficient way. I want my students to have that same resource this fall. I also want to give each student their own notebook to be used in class that will hold all of their bell-work, notes, assignments, grades, and more. Many of these students cannot afford to buy their own 99 cent binder. These binders will help me to hold students accountable for being organized and responsible throughout the school year.

Freshmen and Sophomores are still at a young enough age that they can maintain a high GPA and take the right courses to, not only graduate, but do well in college.

In Teach For America, we were told that 83% of students who take Calculus in high school graduate from college - a larger determinant than zip code, ethnicity or any other factor. For this reason, I want my Algebra 1 class to be as effective as possible - so that these kids will go on to Calculus by 12th grade. Please help.
