  • My Students Need Graphing Calculators

    Funded Oct 17, 2019

    Thank you so much for your donation! Your generosity has allowed me to purchase graphing calculators for the students in my Honors Algebra 2 Course. As I am sure that you are aware, mathematics education is undergoing tremendous change as we transition from rote computation and skill building into problem solving and analyzing. These calculators pride my students access to technology that will improve both their understanding as well as efficiency with respect to mathematics.

    Graphing functions using pencil and paper (the old way) is tedious and the ability to analyze the graphs generally gets lost because the students get "bogged down" on the computations. These calculators take away the boredom and allow us to move directly to the application being studied. I cannot emphasize enough how exciting this is for my students.

    These calculators are not cheap and because of this many students at my school are not able to afford them. This creates a decided disadvantage between them and the students at more affluent schools. Your generosity "levels" the playing field - and for that I am most grateful!”

  • Graphing Calculators Needed! Please Help!

    Funded Feb 20, 2015

    Thank you so much for donating to my Graphing Calculator Project. As I am sure that you are all aware, advancements in technology have made dramatic changes to mathematics education. Graphing Calculators allow today's students to graph and analyze functions instantaneously, while doing so by hand might take 15 minutes or more. Your contributions will allow my students some of the same advantages that students at more affluent schools have available to them.

    I find it especially telling that you all were willing to give to students that you have never met. Many people give to charities in their own community, but your willingness to give outside of your own local neighborhood is especially telling. For that I am especially grateful.

    On behalf of all of my students, I thank you again for your generosity!”

I teach Second Year Algebra at an urban high school to students from various backgrounds. These students are learning advanced mathematics in Algebra 2 which is their "ticket" to gaining college acceptance.
