• The Writing Is on the Wall: Turning Walls Into Whiteboards

  Funded Feb 4, 2022

  The first thing we did was paint my classroom's tables and walls. Each student, with their individual markers, could express their mathematical thinking. Students were able to use individual thinking time to do the work.

  Students shared ideas, and we did a gallery view, where they were able to look at each other's work. It's a beautiful thing to see students collaborate and share their ideas. We want to deepen the learning community. We can only do that if we give students opportunities to think, do and share!”

• Color, Paste, Write, Learn- Interactive Math Notebooks for the Win.

  Funded Jul 27, 2022

  How do you make math come ALIVE? You have to interact with it! You need to make it a resource that students use over and over again throughout the year. And because of you, I was able to do that. Students loved cutting, pasting, coloring, and annotating notes inside of their notebooks. As the semester progressed, there were pages marked, students used their notebooks during table discussions and fundamental growth and excitement about the learning.

  We want to foster learning even when no one is looking. We want to make sure that students know that they are enough! They are smart and capable of all things.”

• Math on the Move: Making math magic happen ANYWHERE

  Funded Dec 10, 2019

  Covid rocked the way that we were able to support students and their learning. We went from working together with the same tools in our classroom to having the students try to engage in learning online, at home. We were working on One Step equations when the world closed. What would have been students huddled together using Algebra tiles to make connections with the learning, left us under-resourced and ill-prepared.

  The students were EXCITED to engage with the lesson together with the tools that would have had in class. As I was talking about the X tile, I asked students to pull it out of the bag and interact with it with me. I heard students inviting their families in on the conversation and helping to truly transport the knowledge of classroom learning to home learning.

  I am so grateful for this”

• Click, Click Let's Present

  Funded Feb 8, 2023

  As a teacher, I am tasked with supporting my students to become learners, thinkers + doers. This skill set means that students have to see themselves as worthy of sharing their thoughts and ideas. Public speaking is hard for a lot of people, and the more you practice the better you get.

  Giving the students of using a clicker helped to ease their anxiety and focus on what was important-- their words. They were able to practice commanding the stage as they used the clicker as a tool to move their slides and tell their story.

  There are soft skills that are just as important to developing the whole child. You helped me to help my babies get one step closer to all of that!”
