Ughh Fractions!

My Project

Being a middle school student is so tough nowadays. Adding a learning disability on top of it can be incredibly challenging. My students battle daily with a lack of confidence. I strive to change that! My passion is to make learning fun, and see these childrens’ sparks fly!

My goal is to bring the challenging concept of fractions to life.

To use them not only to build a solid foundation, but to grow upon it in endless ways.

I see my students fight daily through personal and academic difficulties. Too often they’re ready to give up. These big kids need the fun of learning brought back. They deserve to be shown that fun interactive learning doesn’t end by third grade. Thank you!
