Help Mr. MacDonald

My Algebra 1 and Geometry students are from an under-performing school in a high poverty region of a large city. My students range from 9th to 12th grade, most of whom are well below poverty.

Our school budget has been cut, and our school district will not buy new calculators. I purchased 4 of these calculators myself this summer, before running out of money. We desperately need a few more calculators, so that every cooperative group will have one.

Two more Ti-nspires will supply us with enough calculators. Each group of four students can have one of these cutting-edge, next generation calculators.

Your donation will help students whose school is under state intervention to succeed by using hands-on activities with these calculators. Activities can be downloaded from Texas Instruments for free; we only need your help to get us enough calculators for the class.
