  • Calm Skies Are Coming

    Funded Oct 11, 2024

    Thank you so much for funding my project. The fidgets are a huge hit and are used every hour. It is amazing how such a little thing can really help a student focus. We have talked about how some people just need a bit of movement to help their learning and this has started more conversations and broke down some walls in groups. The ceiling covers are a dramatic improvement to the lighting the mood of the classroom. It has really helped not having to choose between harsh lighting and darkness. We really appreciate the support you have given to our classroom. The additions to the classroom have really helped the learning. Again thank you so much!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Amond

  • Making Mathematical Connections with Hands-on Learning! (Part 2)

    Funded Jun 3, 2021

    I am so grateful to have received full funding for both of my hands-on math projects. I am blessed to be teaching in and raising my family in such a great school district. This is a community that really values and supports education.

    What a wonderful way to end a very challenging school year! I am looking forward to putting all of these great teaching tools to use in my class room next year.”

  • Making Mathematical Connections with Hands-on Learning!

    Funded May 25, 2021

    I humbled and grateful for the generous support that I received in funding this project. I am so fortunate to be teaching in a district that values education and has this kind of community support.

    This school year is coming to end but I am already looking forward to next year with a renewed sense of purpose! I have no doubt that having these manipulatives in my geometry classroom will help all kids to get a better understanding of the basic geometry concepts. This will, in turn, give them a good foundation to build on so that they can develop a deeper understanding and be able to handle more challenging problems.

    Thank you for giving me the tools to help me reach all types of learners in my classes!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Amond

In my years of teaching I've seen students struggle to visualize and make connections with the Geometric concepts that we are trying to learn. I have also seen that it can make a big difference in understanding if students can hold shapes in their hands, examine them, and manipulate them. When they are physically creating and manipulating shapes, lines, and angles, those things become less abstract and they can develop a deeper understanding of the geometric relationships that are at work. I have carefully chosen resources that I believe will greatly assist all students in all of my classes to better understand geometric concepts. These manipulatives can be used by every student to examine points, lines, slopes, 2 dimensional shapes and 3 dimensional shapes. Through these examinations they will better understand the basic relationships and connections which will then allow them to take things to a deeper level of understanding. This will benefit them greatly when we look at more abstract problems involving these geometric concepts. Sometimes people think that these colorful manipulative are only for little kids but I have found that they can be great way to introduce a lesson. High school aged kids see them as a fun change of pace compared to paper/pencil work. The level of student engagement is much higher when they can use their hands and minds together to actually see and experience the geometric concepts that we are learning.
