My Project

My goal is to provide my high school math classroom with crucial supplies that will enhance the learning experience and enable students to reach their full potential.

Many of my students often forget to charge their devices at home, which leaves them unprepared for class and hinders their ability to fully engage with the curriculum.

This lack of preparedness can prevent them from succeeding in their mathematical studies. By providing Chromebook chargers, I can ensure that every student has access to their device during class, allowing them to participate fully in lessons and activities.

Additionally, the use of colored pencils is instrumental in helping students visualize and understand complex algebraic concepts. The red and blue colored pencils will enable them to outline key steps in problem-solving and graphing transformations of functions, making it easier for them to grasp challenging material.

Furthermore, laminating sheets and colored card stock will allow for the creation of durable and sustainable teaching materials. These resources will enable me to produce engaging visual aids and handouts that can be reused year after year, enhancing the overall learning experience for my students.

Lastly, providing breakfast snacks will help create a positive learning environment. Many students come to school without having eaten, and having snacks available will ensure they are nourished and ready to focus on their studies. A little fuel can go a long way in enhancing concentration and engagement in the classroom.

Investing in these supplies will create a more effective learning environment in my math classroom, ultimately leading to improved student performance and confidence. I am committed to helping my students succeed, and with your support, we can provide them with the tools they need to thrive in their mathematical education.
