Help our third graders to meet our state testing requirements! I teach third grade in a low-income, title I school.

Each year our students are faced with the challenge of end-of-grade tests. Within the past few years passing scores have been raised for both math and reading.

I believe that students best learn with hands on practical learning experiences! These Vera Tile self-correcting math tiles allow students an opportunity to complete activities and receive immediate feedback on their progress. These tiles also allow teachers to track students' mathematical thinking and understanding and intervene when necessary.

Research suggests that student achievement is raised when learning experiences are tailored to the individual. These tile activities do just that while allowing students the satisfaction of immediate feedback. Please help me make a difference in these students' education by making these learning experiences possible for a group of very deserving third graders.
