We would like to purchase an iPad and pencil as well as other manipulatives to help students that attend our PAL (Peer Assisted Learning) Lab, a student led math tutoring center. The iPad is a very useful portable tool for graphing, sketching, tracking students, searching for assignments, etc. Many of the students that attend our PAL lab struggle in math and need a different representation of it, that is where being able to easily graph and show them pictures can be very helpful. Other manipulatives like whiteboards, algebra tiles, and other math tools are also valuable.
