After my first year of teaching in America, I realized how expensive it is to provide students with hands on materials. Last year I did a lot of improvising and spent hours hand making materials. This took away valuable time that could be spent focusing on improving my lessons. My aim this year is for students to have the opportunity for every hands on experience in learning Algerbra 1. My students from last year often came to class with uncharged calculators and I would love to have a space in the classroom to resolve that issue by having a charging station. Other supplies in need to keep my classroom interactive include, algebra tiles (I made these by hand and still was short after hours of laminating and cutting. It would be a valued supply that would be used for many years and many lessons), double sided chips (to visualize the concept of negative and positive numbers), individual white boards with graphing on one side (This is great for interactive practice and "board war" games), dry erase markers, graph paper (which students often have a hard time finding), pens and pencils that students may forget to bring to class. All of these supplies would greatly help me run an interactive and efficient Algebra 1 classroom that I would not nor would my students be able to afford on our own.
