Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I am currently a middle school Math teacher in a high needs area. I teach 3 levels of students including Special Education, General and Honors. I am requesting a test taking strategy program and math center kits to help students learn the curriculum.

The students I encounter on a day to day basis are faced with insurmountable obstacles.

Some live in shelters, others have parents who are incarcerated, siblings in gangs, etc. They come to school stressed and frustrated with their environment. My students come to me when they need an outlet for their frustration. Often, they have trouble expressing themselves which only adds to their aggravation. Many of them struggle to find an appropriate way to deal with their feelings. Supplying them with these step by step math kits will help them build academic confidence and ease their frustrations.

My Project

The Real-World Math Problem Solving Kits enable students to solve the types of real-world math problems they encounter every day. Students will have problems such as: paying restaurant bills, to analyzing baseball statistics! These kits will be perfect for independent math centers, because each kit comes with 8 different high-interest activities. The kits also include super-realistic props like restaurant menus, store coupons, maps and more. Students will select an activity card and use the related materials to work out each problem. They will be able to use the answer cards to check their own work when they're done! I am also requesting a grade-leveled test taking program that allows each student to follow step by step recordings to develop effective test taking strategies.

Your help is desperately needed to help our room function properly and help students be successful in Math.

In our room, we all depend on proper conditions and supplies for our class to run well. This can only happen with your aid. Please help us, every little bit helps!
