  • Mathematics in Virtual Reality

    Funded Aug 6, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. I look forward to sharing the news with my students. I am so excited to expand my teaching to involve this amazing technology. I have done projects with my Calculus kids, I look forward to doing new projects with my Algebra and Geometry kiddos.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Felix

    This classroom project was brought to life by United Airlines and one other donor.

  • Mathematics in Virtual Reality

    Funded Jul 20, 2021

    The VR headset has been amazing. The students have traveled to mars, Jupiter, and the far reaches of the galaxy. They have gotten aboard the apollo 11 rocket. They have gone swimming with sharks and whales. They have created art in 3 dimensions. They have escaped puzzle rooms.

    All of this was done from the safety of their desks. They have written about their experiences with great excitement. The look on their face when the headset comes off and they can't wait to tell their friends to try it...is priceless.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Felix

    This classroom project was brought to life by Emerson Collective.

  • Surface Pro For A Distance Teacher

    Funded Aug 12, 2020

    Thank you so much for donating to my Donor's Choose project. It has made teaching during distance learning so much fun. I am able to incorporate technology like Desmos and Nearpod. These technologies allow me to better represent mathematics concept so the students can learn. This distance learning is very difficult for many of them, so having visual representations instantly helps solidify the concepts.

    I love that the computer is fast. It just works. I was having technical issues with my last computer because it was slow, and as soon as the link was severed, the kids would leave and not come back to my online class.

    I think about a kid I have in my Calculus class Tammy. I also had her last year. She remembers me struggling with the old tech and has been able to witness the change first hand. She comments that she loves the new programs we are able to use in the class. She's doing better this year than last. Maybe it's just that she's getting used to all of this, but I think the tech we are using really is helping.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Felix

Each day is different. I try to adapt my lessons and sequence according to the needs of the students. I use music, the news, pop culture, karaoke, and interactive software to teach mathematics. The students I teach are amazing kids. I graduated from the school I teach in. I have seen a dramatic increase in student performance since I started teaching 11 years ago. I try to challenge my students, making them believe that they can do anything they set their minds to, no matter where they fall on the income scale. My students are 90% minority, and 80% qualify for free and reduced price lunch. My classes range from Honors level Algebra 2, to 10th graders taking Algebra for the 3rd time. All are great kids, eager to learn, but we do need the tools to teach them. Having the tablet PC in the classroom will help all of my students.
