My Project

Most of my students have great behavior and pretty good academic skills. A mixture of my students come from family backgrounds that are in need to family backgrounds that are fortunate. In this case, anything that supports my students well-being in math as part of their education will help assist me and their parents financially. I love my students because they have showed me their potential in improving in math even when its not their best subject. My students try hard to excel and succeed for me and themselves. These students will look forward to coming to their math class with all their supplies fulfilling their needs.

The use of calculators is a great handheld product that the students love to have that will help them check their calculations.

The calculator usage will increase the students improvement in math with the exception of making minor calculation errors. Students in the past could only use calculators for some math skills which made it challenging for them to complete assignments and tests. Therefore, it will give my students the ability to complete their assignments and tests on time.

Pencils are another great supply that I seem to have to spend out of my pocket. There are nine weeks in each of the four quarters the students are in school, and I seem to have to go through two pencil boxes of 150 count every quarter. It does amaze me how some students don’t come to school with a pencil each knowing they have a math class that require a pencil. I would rather have enough pencils for each student throughout the four quarters than have a student that feel like they will not be able to complete their assignments as an excuse because of no pencil.
