My students must adapt to the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in math. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my students. My classroom have limited technological math resources, so I would like to have an interactive board to get students interested and involved in the math in my classroom.
Algebra is one of the few major domains of mathematics that students study from preschool all the way through twelfth grade; "Algebra is critically important because it is often viewed as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics and it’s a required course for virtually every postsecondary school program," (Matt Larson, president of National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)).
Because so many students fail to develop a solid math foundation, an alarming number graduate from high school unprepared for college or work. Many end up taking remedial math in college, which makes getting a degree a longer, more expensive process than it is for their more-prepared classmates. And entering college without an understanding of algebra means students are less likely to complete a college-level math course, which can take them off track for graduation.
