My students are thoughtful and hard-working. These are students who need extra supplies and support in order to be successful in math though. It's amazing how a little thing like a "fancy ruler" (their words) or a new set of colored markers makes students feel special. My students often do not love math but they love to learn and with all these great supplies, they always work hard and try their best.
We work as a team in my classroom - there are two teachers and a teaching assistant who along with my students form this amazing, hard-working group.
To help support my math students with their learning, we also need supplies and technology which help support their learning.
My Project
This project for our interactive, amazing and fun math class helps us to keep up the important work of teaching and learning math. We will use simple supplies like markers so that students can create posters and present their work; we'll use rulers to organize our work and let students explain their learning using real world activities.
Our goal is to make math as student centered as possible - in order to do this we need these important supplies.
Further, we will create student portfolios using folders for students to take ownership of their work and track their own learning.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
