What do our children see? I am a Mathematics teachers. I have been assigned to grade 7. I worked in a high need community. School started last week, since that time my students' have had two assessments. On both assessments' their prior knowledge was tested. When I received the results I was heart broken. My students had such a difficult time retaining the data that was previously taught. I found a great textbook that would allow me to teach current lessons while reviewing necessary information. However, due to the increase in budget cuts we were unable to purchase those textbooks. Therefore, I decided to use the materials that I have to assist my struggling students'. However, these materials are available on DVD and videotape. Again I found myself at a dead end. I would love to open my students' eye's to the world of Math through a real world connection and visual stimulant.
