  • Teachers Helping Teachers

    Funded Dec 1, 2020

    Thank you for your donation. Because of your donations, we were able to purchase several projects from Teachers Pay Teachers.

    Our students have engaged in the following activities:

    - solving one-step and two-step equations mazes on Jamboard

    - matching equations to their solutions on Google Classroom slides

    - matching equations to their solutions on Nearpod

    - solving equations pixel art assignment (students solved equations and revealed a pixel art image - it was Olaf :-) )

    Thank you so much for allowing us to access these projects and add so much variety to our lessons. We also shared the gift cards with the entire Math Team at East Side, so your donations have not only impacted the 8th graders but all other students.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. George

  • I Can't See The Line?!?!

    Funded Aug 13, 2012

    Where do I begin? In this age of technology and national discussion on STEM having this new technology in my 8th grade classroom has been invaluable.

    Over the years we have studied the concept of slopes. As a culminating activity we use the CBRs (Calculator Based Ranger) to have students create increasing and decreasing lines, predict and confirm slopes and equations of these lines, look for intersecting points of their lines... This has been a very hard task to coordinate as I have never had any graphing calculators in my classroom. It was quite hard to organize and lend these calculators in order to do this highly interactive, fun and educational project.

    Having these calculators have totally changed how we do this project. I don't have to struggle to find calculators or waste time troubleshooting with nonworking calculators. These calculators work exceptionally well with the CBR, making this Math project an even more enjoyable experience.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. George

  • The More Color the Better

    Funded Dec 31, 2011

    Words cannot begin to express how thankful I am for your donation, even though our request was something some simple.

    When I started off writing this proposal I thought of starting small; something small but essential to my students. Using these colored papers to keep track of student progress in class work and homework has caused a remarkable turn around in my students' grades. They are not losing these brightly colored sheets anymore and earning higher grades.

    So on behalf of my students, I say a million thank yous to you all for your support of our 8th grade math classroom. ”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. George

My students are mainly Black and Hispanic. I teach them 8th grade Math and by the time they come to me, they either love math, hate math or they just do it. I try to help them develop a love or liking for math and definitely a curiosity about why things work the way they just seem to do in Math; is it really that magical of a subject. During the school year as we progress through some tough algebra and geometry concepts, I see kids becoming more interested in their learning and really taking the initiative as they get ready for high school. We are a public school serving an urban population; preparing tomorrow's thinkers.
