My Students

Math comes to life WITH YOUR HELP! My students need to establish fluency in Mathematics in order to be prepared for the career paths that they will choose. Quantitative reasoning, technical ability, and physical problem solving are skills essential for success in today's world.

I am nothing short of inspired by my 90 seventh grade Mathematics students.

I teach in New York City which means my students thrive in an environment surrounded by a city that never sleeps. My students aspire to individual and creative career paths, and are determined to better their lives through academic success. My students connect deeply with music and art, which is why I am requesting project materials with which they will connect with math understandings. This is truly a projects that will inspire my children to learn and think creatively, that they will never, ever forget.

My Project

I am requesting a performance lighting setup so that my students can learn quantitative reasoning through timed visual lighting programming, gain technical aptitude through building and assembling the setup, and gain confidence through seeing the project come to completion. My students will see math come to life as they engage in a project that develops skills that are used by grips, producers, musicians, directors, designers, and other real-life individuals that USE MATH EVERYDAY.

The majority of inner city schools lack student projects that yield technical aptitude in relation to building math fluency.

I believe that my students will connect deeply with a project that enables them to work with their hands to SEE MATH UNDERSTANDINGS IN A NEW LIGHT! With this equipment (that will last for years to come) students will be able to see the results of their work come to fruition.
