My Students

"Mathematics may not teach us to add love or subtract hate, but it gives us hope that every problem has a solution." -Anonymous

My students are inquisitive middle school math students that are always looking for solutions to their problems.

They live in an inner-city low-income district with a very diverse population. They face many challenges, both in and out of the classroom. Some of the students in my classes are special needs students who suffer from attention deficit disorder (ADHD), hearing impairments, and/or have other types of special needs.

It is my hope that throughout the year, I can provide them with the resources they need to face their challenges head-on and find solutions that will inspire them.

My Project

My students will begin units in statistics, probability and geometry and your donation can help them succeed. These products are basic necessities that will help engage my students.

Statistics, probability and geometry are hands-on topics that need the right supplies in order to fully engage and excite students.

Dice will help students generate data, while highlighters and colored pens will help them organize their data sets.

Large three-dimensional representations of geometric figures will allow students to examine the shapes they are working with and allow them to relate to surface area and volume.

Erasers are essential to any math classroom as we always need to fix our work. The tape will let us display student work while leaving the paint still attached to the walls :)
