My Students

Math is fun. Really, it is. Just take a look at the math materials requested in this project. It is a math teacher's dream.

Our kids are brilliant and they deserve basic educational resources.

Approximately 65% of our students are African American, 29% are Hispanic, and the remaining 5% is made up of Asian (Pakistani, Ethiopian, Filipino) and Anglo American students. Because we are a full Title I school a vast majority of our students qualify for free or reduced lunches. Our students may lack the material privileges that other American children are fortunate to have, but they certainly make up for it with talent, fortitude, and sheer intelligence. We live in a world where our youth are simply not provided enough quality resources to shine; your donation will make the dream of a bright future come true.

My Project

It is my goal to develop problem solving strategies in the minds of my students so that they will be able to attack math without fear, but with relish - a mental condition that is obviously beneficial in areas of life outside of mathematics. But we lack supplies. All of the materials in this selection are useful for exploring math concepts taught in first grade. Included are construction kits for exploring geometric shapes in 2 and 3 dimensions, a balance scale and weights, strategy games, counters, logic manipulatives, and board games for practicing math facts. And they are fun for the children to use.

It is always a great pleasure for me to see students engaged in lessons that have real meaning for them.

In my classroom, math is always related to actions and events in the real world. The supplies that you provide will form an important part of the meaningful math curriculum that I strive to deliver. Rest assured: your donation will make a real difference.
