My Students

My students put a smile on my face every single day. We have our good days and bad, as many of my students have been "math injured" at some point in their lives but I strive to make math interesting and fun for them. I teach 7th and 8th grade math in a low-income area of New York City. We are surrounded by low-income housing and many of my students come from disadvantaged families. Despite the challenges they face, many work hard and understand that success is not owned but is something you work for daily.

To be successful in math, we need to be equipped with tools for success.

Our classroom is need of many materials that will help to build my students' engagement and keep them on that path to success. We wish to have those daily items that will help to keep the students focused and engaged.

My Project

We are trying hard to build our love of math and keep ourselves organized. Math can be a little tricky for many of my students, especially those with education plans.

We need materials to keep ourselves organized and to help stay engaged in learning.

My students will use the folders for their work and the support tools to help them remember many of the processed and rules in math.

My 7th grade students will use the dry erase markers for the whiteboards to practice plotting points, learning about proportional relationships. My 8th grade students will use the boards for slope.
