Mathematician’s Cafe

Funded Jan 15, 2024

Thank you for donating to the Mathematician's Cafe Project. Transforming the classroom into a welcoming and comfortable place for students to learn mathematics was a vision that I had but needed help to make it a reality. Generous donors like you made this project possible.

The classroom began receiving the materials rather quickly. The first to arrive were some of our flexible seatings. These giant bean bags are great quality and the students were beyond excited to have some non conventional seating to choose from to sit and work together. The first time I saw them clustered together on the seats doing their work was priceless.

The covers for the fluorescent lights softens the lighting in the classroom that contributes to a calming vibe. Teens and preteens love working with lower lighting so these were a big hit with them as well.

Our big table, with bench style seating, is elegant and sturdy. It allows students to collaborate in a comfortable and practical manner.

As the classroom transformed, other students in the school heard about the improvements and wanted to come to math class in our room. This is what I was hoping for!”

With gratitude,
