When the students enter my classroom, they are reminded that we use time well in algebra class. Many have struggled with math in the past, but I remind them often that the past is, well, the past. We are working on adopting growth mindsets, and with that in mind I am determined to show them that understanding mathematical concepts is possible if we develop the tools necessary to understand the processes and language. Working at a Title 1 school has its challenges. With a population of 90% eligible for free and reduced lunch, it is not always possible to ask students to have certain supplies or access to technology. With your help, I know my students can access the materials that will give them the learning opportunities they deserve. Please help me show my students that success in math class is possible!
