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

Students who attend the Bronx High School for Violin and Dance come from the South Bronx. Their lives outside of school are often chaotic, so they like being at school. We are a scanning school - metal detectors and we collect cell phones - so school is usually the safest place students will be all day.

Our student body is comprised of students with diverse backgrounds and who possess a wide range of skills.

Having the tools other schools have, such as Chromebooks and scientific calculators, would enhance our teachers' abilities to differentiate instruction and help more students succeed.

My Project

Calculators help students reach the goals of mathematical exploration, experimentation, and enhanced learning of mathematical concepts. Students using graphing calculators is recommended by national standards in mathematics according to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).

Students using calculators gain deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and score better on standardized tests.

In NCTM’s Technology Standard (NCTM, 2000), several purposes for graphing calculators and other technology are discussed, including the following:

- Students using calculators improve their speed: After students have mastered a skill, students use calculators to compute, graph, or create a table of values quickly.

- Students using calculators make connections: A sophisticated use of graphing calculators helps students make connections among different representations of mathematical models. Students using calculators can quickly maneuver among tabular, graphical, and algebraic forms.

- Realism: No longer are teachers restricted to using contrived data that lead to integral or other simplistic solutions. Graphing calculators permit the creation of several types of best-fitting regression models. Students using calculators allow data analysis to become integrated within the traditional curriculum; the tedium and difficulty of calculating a best-fit model are no longer factors in introducing data analysis into the curriculum.
