My Project

My goal is to make math fun again for students. By using supplies for learning about math with hands-on materials (calculators and fraction cubes) and many of the essentials they need and use day-to-day. My students deserve these tools because they put in great effort each day and with these tools, they could understand better, become more fluent, and along the way they will learn to enjoy and love learning about math. My goal as a math teacher is to help students change their mindset from hating math to loving it!
