• Statistics in Literature! Please Help Us Expand Our Library.

  Funded Jul 26, 2022

  It is nearing the end of our first quarter in school and the students are all signing out books to read. They are learning how Statistics are used in different fields through reading these books. The students can choose a book based on the genre they enjoy reading. Some are reading books written by comedian Aziz Anzari on dating in today's world versus how our grandparents dated. Others are reading about how statistics are used in baseball reading Michael Lewis' Moneyball. While still others are seeing how different variables are related (like Math Teachers and Sumo Wrestlers) from Freakonomics. It is so awesome to have conversations with them about what they learned. Thank you again. Donors are the best!”

• Classroom Printer for High School Math Class

  Funded Aug 12, 2021

  I am sorry this thank you is late. I am so grateful for your donations to my project to get me and my students a new color printer. It is so awesome and makes my job so much easier.

  I am able to make color copies for my students, scan documents to share online for students who are not present in class. When there was a toner shortage I was able to still print tests and worksheets. As a math teacher it is so much easier doing work on paper as opposed to on the computer. This has been such a wonderful addition and I am very thankful for your support.

  THANK YOU!

• Helping Students Shine!

  Funded Feb 17, 2020

  I'm so excited to say that my donors chose project was funded thanks to the generousity of all of you. Thank you so much.

  I cannot wait to tell my students about this. They will be so excited and thankful. They love the puzzles and the classroom posters. You are all amazing.”

• Graphing Calculators

  Funded Jul 27, 2018

  I teach several upper level math classes where the students need a graphing calculator. The problem is that they cost over $100 and many students cannot afford to buy one. Much of their work in class and on homework requires the use of a calculator to be successful. Specifically, I am referring to my Advanced Placement Statistics and my Pre-Calculus classes.

  Students can graph different functions and find critical values in their graphs using this technology in Pre-Calculus. In Statistics, students can make graphical displays of data (histograms, scatterplots, etc) and find complicated probabilities as well as run statistical tests. The calculators can help students do amazing things.

  By having these extra calculators I can sign them out to the students that cannot afford to purchase their own for the year and they will have the same advantages that their peers have.

  We are all very thankful for your donation.”

• A new iPad for my Math Classroom

  Funded Mar 27, 2018

  I love my new iPad. I use it all the time to do things like research statistical studies that will then become lessons. For example, we researched about a study about a woman named Joy Milne who thought she could smell Parkinson's disease. An experiment was done where Joy was given 12 t-shirts some worn by Parkinson's patients and some worn by healthy people. joy was able to get 11/12 correct. The students then did a simulation lesson (AP Statistics) to compare their results to an experiment done to see if Joy's ability to smell the disease was statistically significant. They did over 100.000 trials using a statistical app on the iPad.

  Students also use the iPad to display graphs of function in my Pre-Calculus class. There are activities they do using a program called Desmos.

  This has changed the way I teach and has made my classes more engaging to my students.

  Thank You”

• Statistics in Literature! Please Help Us Build a Library

  Funded Aug 30, 2017

  Thank you so much for your donation to our classroom library. It is so great to see my Statistics students reading books that relate what we are learning in class to books that people read for enjoyment.

  For the first quarter the students read Moneyball, How to Lie with Statistics, Bringing Down the House, Freakonomics and Modern Romance.

  The kids loved seeing how Aziz Anzari explained how in prior generations people married people that lived near them but now with the internet, people have a whole world of possible mates and how confusing it can be to wonder if your soul mate actually lives on the other side of the world. Also, in Freakonomics how Dubner and Leavitt linked two seemingly unrelated topics and found correlations between them like Sumo Wrestlers and Teachers. And I have a whole group of kids thinking they can count cards like the MIT students in Bringing Down the House.

  We are all so happy and grateful. Thank you so much!”

• The Practice of Statistics

  Funded Jan 26, 2015

  Thank you so much for funding the purchase of textbooks for my AP statistics classes. The new textbooks are awesome!

  Statistics is such a great math class for students because they can see the use of it in everyday life. Statistics are everywhere and we hear or see them every day everywhere. Students understand the purpose of the material we learn and see how they can use it in so many careers: business, medicine, and politics. As a result of your generous donation, my students will have the statistical literacy to be successful in any of these careers. If they choose a different path, they will be able to analyze and critique the things they see will make these students more savvy consumers, voters, and citizens.

  These more up to date textbooks have problems that are current and it is written by some of the leading statistical educators in the country that understand the level of the class and find examples that are interesting to students. The textbooks we had been using are horribly out of date. Many of the examples and problems use examples like "20% of teens have a cell phone". In addition, the new textbooks are more rigorous and have many more challenging and thought-provoking examples for students to discuss.

  I will be able to use these books for many years.

  Thank you so much!”
