Helping students make connections is an important part of learning math. First and foremost, students need access to calculators in order to do some of the more complicated math problems. Many of our students at B cannot afford one, and phones aren't allowed on tests. Having a classroom set of calculators is the first step to giving students instant access to a resource that they will use daily. We will use the document camera to record student projects and upload them to our classroom site. I would also be able to do mini lessons from my desk, record them, and allow students who were absent to watch those from home rather then falling further behind. We will use the wireless keyboard and mouse to present projects from the front of the room rather then the back of the room where the computer is hooked up. It will also allow me freedom to present things from the front of the room, whereas right now I give up showing them cool applications for the things we are doing because I lose their attention when I have to stand in the back of the room. The tablet will allow students to check their answers to assignments or quizzes. The software I will be using allows students to scan their work, get instant feedback about how they are doing (how many answers are correct) without giving them the answers (like a traditional key would do). Feedback is a key component to building skills - knowing what you are doing wrong early prevents bad habits. I want them to try figuring out what they did wrong without having the answers in front of them.
