The curriculum has mostly textbook and worksheet style practice for students to complete. Math is so much more than just a problem on a page. When asked "why do we need to know this" or "when will I ever need to use this" by my students, it is hard to just give them a verbal answer that satisfies them. With the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, I will be able to SHOW students how math concepts can be used and they will be able to understand WHY they need to know the concepts. Research clearly indicates students only remember 5% of what they hear and 10% of what they read, but it jumps to 75% retention of information if they are able to "experience" the information. The materials I would like to order are designed for hands on, real-world activities that will allow students to interact and experience the concepts we learn in class.
