My Project

The use of mechanical pencils is a daily activity in all students' classrooms, especially in my geometry class. Students will benefit from using mechanical pencils as they don't need to stop their thought processing to get up and sharpen their pencils. Mechanical Pencils also promote students into having good writing habits as they stay the same length, making it easier to get a consistent grip. Erasers are also an important supplies in geometry as students are drawing and writing all the time. They need erasers to correct their mistakes. Giving each of my students an eraser will help them focus on their task and increase their work efficiency as they don't need to wait for another student to finish using his/her erasers and borrow their erasers.
