  • Make Math Fun!

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    Thank you so much for funding my project for Math Resources. My students will be using these to expand their understanding of mathematics. More than half of my class is at least one grade behind in mathematics. Being able to supplement the curriculum as needed greatly improves their ability to comprehend what they are learning.

    The students love having the option of playing fun math games and sheets that encourage them to think out of the box. Their favorite activity so far was designing a zoo. They had to figure out the area of each enclosure and then design the layout to include all of the animals.

    Thanks again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. DeCaro

  • Enhancing Student Learning

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    After covid, schools have noticed a decline in the student's math abilities. As teachers, we often have to supplement for students to have more positive math experiences. Although my students were struggling with area and perimeter in the classroom, their favorite work in this project was designing their own bakery using area and perimeter. The students were able to see how big they wanted each section of their bakery to be. They then documented the area and perimeter of each section laying it out on the grid paper. By physically drawing it out, they were able to successfully answer questions about their bakery more accurately than before.

    Another very helpful project was working with fractions and a fraction number line. The students worked so much with with fractions that then were able to successfully compare fractions to find equivalent fractions.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. DeCaro

Our school copier is always broken. We have to wait long periods of time to get the resources we need to help our students learn. I need a way to show children things in real time with a document camera that is compatible to our Smart Board. Teachers need to differentiate work to match our students specific needs. Having a copier and document camera would help us create different groups to optimize student learning. By being able to make copies of specific work, I can change the level of work to match the student's ability on the spot in our room.
