My students are 7th graders struggling with math. They have gone through their education mostly feeling intimidated by math and are falling farther behind. I am worried that most of my students will not be able to reach grade level math. I'm also concerned they will not have the confidence to even attempt most math problems. My goal is to help my students feel empowered and love math! This starts with having the proper tools, such as a class-set of scientific calculators. We are starting pre-Algebra, and this will help them compute much faster so they can access the content! My students do not have the funds to provide their own calculators, and I need your help.
