My Students

All of my students should enjoy coming to math class!

I am a fifth grade math teacher at a kindergarten-fifth grade Title One elementary school in Mississippi.

Due to the financial crisis that our state is facing, we have received several budget cuts. My students are excited about learning. I feel that it is my job, as their teacher, to make sure that they stay excited about learning, regardless of our setbacks.

My Project

Although my male students enjoy mathematics, I must admit that my female students are not showing the same interest. Most of the girls complete the math lessons because it is a requirement. Whereas, the boys will take an active role in the lessons (asking questions, explaining their thinking, etc..) the girls do not show the same self-confidence. Many of the girls feel that they simply are not good in math. I am concerned because as a teacher, I realize that research states that girls are more likely than boys to opt out of advanced math classes. As a result, girls are limited in both their college major and career choices. I would like to solve this problem by providing my students with math games and other hands-on materials. Most girls enjoy playing board games; therefore I feel that this could be the answer that I have been searching for. I would like to capitalize on my students’ learning styles and interests, by providing them with math games that they will really enjoy.

By funding our project, you will make it possible for my female students to get excited about mathematics.

I believe that once they get excited about math, they will stay excited for life!
