My Project

Building a math-thinking classroom where students are engaged and inspired is my goal. A student-focused math class can unlock my students' hidden potential and transform how my students approach math. Team math will help to nurture self-confidence, critical thinking, and cooperative learning. Your donation will allow me to offer math games and activities, like Jenna and MathSwatter, that will cultivate curiosity and encourage critical thinking in math class. From counting to learning math facts I can create fun math games using jenga blocks, dice, and the mathswaters addition and subtraction game. My goal of a student-focused math class is to empower students to take charge of their learning and gain the confidence to solve challenging problems in math.
