My Students

According to the National Math and Science Initiative, of the 20 fastest growing careers, 15 of them require a background in math or science. Relatedly, technology offers more opportunities to be actively involved in the learning experience.

I teach at a Title I school, located in a high poverty area.

The school services two section 8 public housing communities, with more than 90% of our students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This year my district has gone to departmentalization for third grade and up. I have the opportunity to teach math to nearly 70 students this year. Despite the fact that many of my students come from homes with very limited access, my students are becoming proficient navigators of technology and are eager to get their hands on more. They are energetic, inquisitive, hard-workers, and overall an amazing bunch of kids. They come to school each day so excited to learn.

My Project

What math instruction looks like in my classroom looks totally different than what it did this time last year. We have adopted a standards-based, investigative approach. This new hands-on approach can make instruction difficult if students are not close enough to see. A document camera will allow me to quickly model for a room full of students. This will also be a great tool as students model for other students.

I want to give my students the very best, and a document camera would definitely help me improve my instruction.

lt would allow all students a close up view of manipulatives, workbook pages, activities, and more, even within a whole group setting. I know this technology will give my students the push we need in our classroom to create more mathematically-minded students and engage all learners throughout the year.
