My Students

Do you remember learning math using papers and pencil all year long? Our program has the technology components to make learning more meaningful and interactive. However, many of our computer batteries are not working so we are facing challenges to make it happen our classroom.

My school has close to 3,000 students.

The majority of the students are from low-income families and are qualify for free or reduced lunch. Unfortunately not many students have computers at home to complete on-line math assignments or research projects. Having working batteries for the computers could enhance students’ learning by using a different media where they can see, hear, and interact with new math concepts in a way that no book or lecture can do.

My Project

My students need 5 new batteries for our existing mobile lab. Our laptops are more than seven years old and many of the batteries are not working. Having all the computers working in my room will make many math lessons come alive. We have several online resources where students can go to access the math component. Through the use of the mobile lab, many students will enhance and expand their math skills. In addition, students will have the opportunity to work on individualized lessons with instant feedback.

This project would have a great impact in the learning of my students.

It provides my students a different venue for learning math and to enhance further understanding of algebra and geometry concepts. I would greatly appreciate your consideration in funding this project.
