My Project

I love my students’ curiosity and eagerness to learn, especially when tackling new math concepts. They bring energy and creativity to every lesson, and I want to give them the tools they need to succeed. By providing calculators, I can help them build confidence in their math skills, allowing them to focus on problem-solving and critical thinking rather than getting stuck on computations. These calculators will be beneficial as we explore concepts like sales tax, percentages, and real-world math applications.

My goal for this project is to ensure every student can access a reliable calculator to support their learning.

Many of my students don’t have access to these resources at home, so having them in the classroom will level the playing field and give them the confidence to tackle more advanced math problems.
