My Project

When studying higher level mathematics, being able to include accurate graphs within the notes is essential. The visual representations can help students better understand the connections between the algebraic/symbolic, tabular and graphical representations. My project is about helping students better understand how they can use graph paper notebooks to take effective notes in math and give them exposure to resources that can make note taking easier for them. With two different sizes, students can take notes and complete problems in one, while keeping track of important terms and formulas in another. This allows for easy access when studying for exams.

My students are ambitious.

They have opted into a college level mathematics course. Their drive to be successful and their willingness to put in the extra effort is why they are taking this course. Please help me to continue to support them in their journey towards their future.
