My students need pens, twine, straws, and toothpicks, 2 graphing calculators, geometric models, and whiteboard tools.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach high school students in a high-need community. My students enjoy learning about Algebra, Geometry and Statistics with me.

Help us explore the Geometric world around us. My students can not wait to measure, replicate and model objects in our surroundings.

We are lacking the resources we need to view geometry in a tactile sense. We want to build clinometers to measure angles and models to measure the strength of different shapes. My students also need to tools to test their ideas in front of their peers at the whiteboard.

Please put these tools in the hands of my students. They are waiting to feel the weight of Geometry. It is a gigantic Geometric world and we are waiting to discover it.
