  • Interactive Notebooks in Math!

    Funded Nov 20, 2013

    Thank you everyone so, so much. I am so excited to plan out great notes, foldables, and activities to put in these notebooks. These interactive notebooks are going to help my students get ready for Intro to Calculus (and for a few of them, AP Calculus).

    I strive to give my students the best education possible, but sometimes teachers need extra resources to do that. I'm deeply moved that you recognize this need and were compelled to take action and help out. Please know that your generosity will be making a difference for 100 students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Secor

  • YouTube Math Project!

    Funded Aug 14, 2008

    Thank you very much for helping my students learn to love math! I'm so excited to introduce the YouTube math project to my students, and if they're even half as excited as I am, we're in for a good time. Technology usage in the classroom is of paramount importance, and not just because it gets kids "hooked." I always worry that my students don't have enough opportunities to really learn how to navigate computers and current technology, since many of my students don't have computers at home. But, with this digital camera, I will at least know that every one of my students will at least one opportunity to show off their creative talents. Once again, thank you for helping out my students! I'm very much looking forward to this school year”

  • White Board Madness!

    Funded Mar 7, 2008

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! I can't believe how quickly this proposal was funded. I've told my kids about the white board and they are all very excited about it, and are even calling "dibs" on who gets to write on it first. The white board is going to make a big difference in the classroom. My kids will be able to "see" the math, in more ways than one. Thank you”

  • Mira Mira on the Wall...

    Funded Nov 28, 2007

    Thank you for funding "Mira Mira on the Wall!" Your contribution will make a real difference in my geometry class and in the lives of my students. I'm looking forward to their excitement in using such a "cool" and useful tool! I have tried teaching reflections by having students fold paper and trace images, but they weren't really getting the concept of reflections (just paper-folding and tracing!) The MIRA tools will help them to really "see" the reflection. Once again, thank you for helping my students”

Welcome! My name is Jackie Secor and I teach AP Statistics and Pre Calculus at an amazing public magnet school in Baltimore, MD. I'm committed to helping students discover the beauty of mathematics and show them how exciting it can be. There is nothing better than watching a student have one of those "aha!" moments, especially when it comes after the student has begun to truly understand a difficult math concept. My students come from a diverse socioeconomic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. I teach subjects that are traditionally very challenging. My goal is that all of my students leave my class feeling confident about, and enjoying the beauty of mathematics. Please help me reach that goal!
