My Project

I have a wonderful group of students this year. They are so eager to learn Math and as 7th graders learning Algebra is becoming really complicated. They need more manipulative resources to bring abstract Algebra concepts such as the concept of functions to life. They need to see it to grasp it.

Your donation will bring abstract Algebra concepts to life.

It will help my students see abstract concepts in a meaningful understandable way. So, they can make sense of abstract Algebra.

The linking cubes and other resources provided in this project will be used by many students throughout several years to come.
