My Project

The students at our high school are SO diverse! We have over 80 languages spoken at our school, and many countries represented.

In 3 of my math classes, I will be teaching many new-to-country students developing their English skills alongside their math learning.

Having visuals in class to inspire them (mathematicians that look like them!) and help them adjust to a new language & potentially new math symbols will be beneficial to them. Having these supplies will help me support group engagement & learning, helping learners develop social relationships with peers, which has been very hard for students post-COVID. This can be even harder for students developing English skills in a new environment or country.

I would like the following supplies. Dry erase markers & dry-erase sheets that will allow students to practice math problems and correct errors without marking up papers too much. Highlighters and colored pens will allow students to color-coded notes and go back to grade & review their own work. Skin-tone Band-aids because we have a diverse group of students of many skin tones, and these band-aids can make them feel more comfortable in their own skin. Colored pencils are to help them illustrate their identities via posters to be displayed in classrooms. Posters to show a diverse representation of mathematicians & show math symbols that may be potentially new/unfamiliar to them. Sticky notes to share thoughts & ideas with the class or ask anonymous questions they may be too nervous to share out loud. Having pencils because the lack of materials removes the ability for students to engage in curriculum; removing this barrier for them will provide them a better opportunity to learn!
