A Good Calculator Makes the Difference Between Success and Failure

Funded Nov 20, 2020

My students are very excited about having new calculators. Our old calculators had been used for so long, the labels on the buttons were worn off. In my upper level classes, AP Statistics for example, the students rely on their calculators for much of their work. The functions they need are not taught in earlier classes, so they need those labels to be clear to know which button is which. In addition, many of the old screens were damaged, making it difficult to read graphs.

These new calculators are helping reduce frustrations and increase the speed at which they can complete tests and projects. With out them, there are several students that would not be able to keep up with their other classmates. The calculators help students that are weaker in math complete statistical calculations so they can move forward with the interpretation and conclusion stages of their problems and projects.

I can't thank you enough for your generous investment in the education of my students!”

With gratitude,

Mr. Collier
