My Project

My students are motivated learners who struggle with learning math concepts. They put forth great effort into their work and want to succeed. They will be able to access the math curriculum with specific hands-on tools like calculators, rulers, dry-erase boards/markers, dice, and number lines. My students will have daily access to these tools to be successful!

With the right tools, these learning-disabled students can become independent, confident learners.

Using these tools on a daily basis will make them more comfortable with the grade-level concepts and move toward mastering the skills they need to move on to high school.
