My Students

Many of our students lack the opportunity to attend excursions and visit exciting places since their families have a hard time just trying to make ends meet. Most of our students are sent to free after-school programs because both parents are working long shifts.

Based on past experiences, many of our middle school students would go on field trips for other academic subjects, however, never for math.

We want to utilize this great city to create an opportunity for our students to explore math outside the classroom in an authentic way!

Yet, most of our students are unable to attend trips that require an admissions fee (even at a lower or reduced cost) due to lack of affordability by family.

Still, our students are still sent to school because the parents need their child to be looked after during their working hours. It is very disheartening to see any student must remain behind while the rest of his/her class is off on an adventure. We are working hard to ensure that all of our students have equal access to the same opportunities and materials and that no one is left out.

My Project

This class trip to the National Museum of Mathematics includes one private educator-led, hands-on session in a classroom and up to 90 minutes of free exploration on the exhibit floor. Our students will explore amazing exhibits, take part in exciting activities, and have an experience they’ll never forget.

Our 6th-grade classes will be going to MoMath later this year, and we would like our 7th graders to receive this experience too!

With your help, our students will have a chance to open/reopen their minds by discovering a side of math they have never

seen, and fall in love with learning again!

"Nothing beats an exciting hands-on experience to deepen learning." Please help make a class trip to the National Museum of Mathematics

Many thank you from your child's teachers,
