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

My classroom ranges from 20 to 35 students per class period. Students' mathematical skills and interests vary greatly. I try to make learning together more practical and applicable to real-life scenarios. If I have the means to show calculator skills manually over an internet broadcast via the document camera, I can show more kids how to utilize a complex tool / app, such as the TI-84. These skills will lead to academic success. My students like to help and teach each other. I can then screen share and let them teach through different mathematical problems.

My Project

I am seeking tools, such as the document/ presentation camera to model calculator skills to my 7th grade, math and science students. During quarantine, students have borrowed technology from the Allentown School District that is preloaded with an electronic TI-84 calculator. What a great tool! However, I need to use a tangible TI-84 and model the keypad entry for my students. With their ability to see the keypad buttons and sequences, all math and science students will access a more complex calculator with the goal to increased academic success in the classroom.
