Sparking Our Fluency in Mathematics

Funded Feb 1, 2019

From the second that the box was brought into the room the students began to cheer. They have been waiting to use the computers for a long time. They are special education students and find it stressful to just have rote lessons and workbooks. The computers gave them access to math websites that they could then continue using on home. The students were actually looking forward to math class, which in and of itself is amazing since most students say they cannot do math.

My teaching strategies have changed during classroom lessons. Since the students have a short attention span, I can move quickly to different parts of the lesson. The computers also allow me to teach in groups easily. I also feel that the computers definitely helped the students when they took a mock State Exam. They did much better than expected. It mad both me and my students especially proud.

Thank you so much for making this possible for my students. We appreciate the opportunity to help us Spark Our Fluency in Mathematics.”
