Math at Work

Funded Nov 29, 2022

Our class would like to express our gratitude for supporting us to create and perform activities that will prepare my students for a life of tomorrow. Students learn and practice daily how to perform monetary transactions very similar to every day life. They practice daily by requesting materials, asking for prices, paying with cash and and receiving change. Introduction of case register increased their desire to learn more and work hard to become expert and apply for jobs like the cashier of the classroom.

Students use materials donated by you to perform mathematical operations and represent word problems by recreating situations and role playing these problems. These activities not only improved their math skills, it improved their communication skill, increased their self-confidence, and for some of them inspired desire to seek training opportunities for potential jobs after graduation.

Thank you for inspiring them so much!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Malaj
