Brains and Calculator Are Math Tools

Help me give my students a set of scientific calculators. Our students will benefit from using the calculator with all of its features without relying on their phones. I want my students to become mathematical confident.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Thank you for investing in the future of our students. Your contribution will have a direct impact in our classroom. These calculators will facilitate learning and the creative process of my students. My students will accomplish this by spending less time on repetitive tasks and more time on the mathematical process. In addition, by supplying them with a scientific calculator to use, they will have to work out the problems and not rely on the "Smart Technology" that robs them of the insight and the beauty of mathematics.

My goal is to have students become creators and not just users of technology.
