My Project

Making sure math and science is fun is really important for the classroom. These students are missing some fundamental math skills that should have already been mastered.

Math games can really help close the gap between the lower elementary math skills and the skills that they need to succeed in 5th grade.

These math games and microscope can help make math and science fun to learn and explore. Games make it seem like the students aren't even learning. And can really reinforce important routines and skills with out taking away from the crucial curriculum they need before middle school.
