Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My AP Calculus classroom is challenged daily to relate algebraic formulas with nontrivial graphs. Through deep comprehension of calculus concepts, they are able to display information with formulas or graphs interchangeably!
I teach Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus this year, and my AP Calculus students are the school's 2nd cohort of students to take this advanced-level math.
Our district has a history of failure in my school's community, in both dropout rates and not being able to serve the vast array of student needs. Our relatively new public school is committed to serve the surrounding neighborhood by providing a high-quality secondary education to interrupt patterns of underachievement, and we have graduated two classes that have gone on to colleges and universities such as UC Berkeley. My desire is to see students graduate and enter the STEM (science, technology, engineering & math) fields well prepared and competitive!
My Project
With a "TI Calculator Motion Detector", a group of students will be able to collect and track data of a student moving across the classroom. They will be able to then compare graphs of distance, speed, and acceleration that are produced to gain a deep conceptual understanding of the derivative (the most fundamental concept of high school Calculus). They will be able to analyze graphs collaboratively, and verify their understanding with a practical application.
Donations to this project will make AP Calculus students more confident in math.
They will be prepared to connect graphical and algebraic representations of movement, and have the resources to persevere through math. Thank you for supporting my students to have this high conceptual understanding of calculus!
