Teaching Math Visually!
Funded Apr 15, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donations towards my project! My students have enjoyed the visuals I am able to use while teaching math. The large coordinate plane grid has been especially wonderful because it is large enough for my students to see from their seats. The drawing tool that you helped fund has been a miracle worker! I am able to draw directly on my screen for students to see the equations, plots, and tables. Once again, thank you so much for helping me teach math easier for students with visuals!”

Experience Math Throughout the Community
Funded Aug 31, 2020This school year has been very challenging due to the current pandemic. My students have been working so hard but having to learn strictly remotely has been very difficult for some. Staring at a computer all day, ever day, for a middle schooler is not ideal. With your generous donation, I was able to purchase a video recorder and have made several videos around the community to help with the learning of math in a fun way. I was able to tour Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport and video why and how the airport relates to math. I was also able to take a video at a local fire department and discuss how the firefighters use math on a daily basis.
I have received some great responses from not only my students, but also their parents, on how the children are really relating math to the real world. I try to make some of the videos funny and I have witnessed that utilizing this video recorder has really impacted my students in a positive way. During my zoom lessons, the students have explained to me that the videos I have been making have been really helpful. This gives them an opportunity to learn not just from a worksheet online, but actually being able to visualize the steps and process of math.
I am hopeful that my students will soon be able to return to school. Until then, I will do my best to continue making funny, encouraging, upbeat videos to help them learn math. Once they return to school, my plan is to continue utilizing the video recorder by still going into the community and videoing how math relates to everything in life. I hope that my students realize the importance of understanding and learning.
Thank you so much for your donations. They truly have changed my students way of learning!”
