Interactive notebooks for female Algebra students

My students need paper, scissors, markers, colored pencils and gluesticks.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Girls like to interact! I teach two year-long Algebra classes that have only female students. My students are upperclassmen and have not experienced much success in mathematics. Our school is considered a high-need school. Additionally, my students must pass a high-stakes Algebra End-of-Course test to fulfill graduation requirements.

Historically, females do not pursue careers in mathematics or engineering. Furthermore, girls tend to think that they cannot "do" math well. My school is attempting to improve the understanding, interest, and performance of females in algebra by allowing them to take algebra in a single gender class.

The resources that I have requested will be used by the girls to create their own interactive notebook in which they will be able to use color and design to help them graphically organize their algebra notes. Girls tend to be more visual as learners, and having these materials will help them learn Algebra easier by accommodating their learning style. They will be actively engaged while working with their interactive notebooks, and will be thinking about and elaborating on algebraic concepts. Additionally, the girls will be answering journal topics in their notebook, which further addresses the particular needs of females, as they tend to be more verbal than males.

Your help will make it possible for my female students to learn and experience algebra in such a manner that they will be successful. Your help will allow them to understand that Algebra is not a "masculine" subject, but a subject that they can experience successfully. With the budget crunch in our state, our school can only provide the bare necessities for instruction. Your donation will allow my female students to have access to materials which will make Algebra less intimidating and more fun.
