My Project

I want to improve the quality of learning motivation and classroom environment within the students with modern real-world math applications. For example, Tower Garden requires knowledge of measurements for nutrients/water, understanding senses of timing and calendar skills, measuring amounts of sunlight needed for specific vegetables/fruits, and analyzing statistical data graphs such as how many days grow with specific amounts of nutrients supplements comparison or total costs, how to grow food, etc. Also, not only academically its impacts, but the classroom dynamics are also impacted as plants lighten up the classroom environment which can shift students' emotional, and mental health, etc.

In the end, the students will gain a lifelong real-world learning experience on how to grow, harvest, and prepare a variety of fruits/vegetables needs with correlations with STEM applications, and mental health applications.

The goal is to support/engage students to learn mathematically as students sense empowerment by eating the strawberries and admire the fruits and flowers they grew at the end of learning process. Out of tower garden, I hope to accomplish the empowerment of students' lifelong learning with more data informed and inclusivity for all diversity levels of students collaboration learning together. Not only academically based but it can broad students' thoughts of admiring what mother natures can really offers.

I am a teacher at Deaf state school funded by the state where the high percentage of my students are from low-income households, Deaf students with additional disability, and every students receive a free breakfast and lunch. The overall picture of school budget is very tight and limited. My school will not be able to fund and support the enrichment learning materials to support my deaf students better life-long learning academically.
