Funded Mar 10, 2018Thank you so much for your generous donations. Technology has become a huge aspect of education in the past few years, especially in Mathematics. In 8th grade Math, students use calculators consistently throughout the year, across all Units of curriculum. For example, my students are currently learning Pythagorean Theorem, which combines square roots and geometry.
Students use technology at varying levels, and calculators are especially important for my students with learning disabilities. When struggling with mathematical concepts, special education students often turn to calculators for an additional support, and it provides them the scaffolding necessary to complete grade-level mathematics so they can feel successful and empowered.
Having a brand new set of working graphing calculators helps my students feel special and deserving of the best resources, which they are. These resources are so useful and practical on a daily basis, and my students are so incredibly grateful for the calculators they have received. Thank you so much for your generosity.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Regan
