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 Students

Do you know how to investigate large numbers? See connections between decimals, fractions, and percents? The TI-15 allows students to see the same number represented in different formats, including stacked fractions, quotient and remainder, & mixed numbers!

The students I serve are from a title I school in an impoverished inner city setting.

My students are vivacious 6th graders attending middle school. They are a diverse group of students from many cultural backgrounds. They become very excited to learn with different representations for math.

My Project

The calculators will be used to complete lessons that require calculators for number investigations. In addition, the calculators will be used as scaffolds for Special Ed students learning multi-step problems. The calculators will also serve as a tool for advanced students to go deeper into math and make connections with larger numbers.

Imagine a special ed student grasping the concept of applying percents, but getting frustrated because he struggles with multiplying percents.

Calculators can be used as a learning tool meeting the needs of all students. Help me meet the students below grade level and enrich students who are thriving.
