My Students

Have you ever had your success in one subject hindered by a weakness in another subject? My students have difficulty in science because they are lacking the math skills necessary to complete labs and activities. My students to become discouraged with science because they feel they can't do the math.

My students are inner city kids who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

Due to their hearing loss, many of them are academically delayed and have many language delays. They are part of a program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students within one of the city's mainstream high schools. They mostly take classes within the program, but they have the opportunity to be mainstreamed into general education classes within the school if they achieve high grades and good regents scores.

My Project

My students are hard workers and always give it their best, but unfortunately this is not always reflected in their exam grades. The addition of these calculators in our classroom will be beneficial to my students because it will enable them to show what they know in science rather than what they do not know in math. It will show them that they can be successful in science even though they do not feel like they are successful in math.

Having the calculators for the students who need them will help my students gain the confidence they need in science and allow them to focus on their strengths rather than their weaknesses.
