Making Math Magic

My Students

We need some math magic around here! My class has shown and told me many times already this year how much they dislike math. Please help them find how magical math can be.

Our school has over 80% of our class needing free or reduced lunch.

Many families need added support from our school. We do food drives many times throughout the year. This is one of the reasons I truly love working with such a caring community of educators. My 2nd grade class is made up of many of these low income families. I have 4 children that have special needs in my room and need a lot of added support to learn. Even with all the needs and hardships I know my students have I am always impressed with their smiling faces each day.

My Project

My students will all benefit from the use of these engaging math tools especially my students with special needs. I have found that I need to get back to the fundamental number sense skills with many of my students and the unifix cubes will really help make those connection for my students. Having math books will allow me to bring added math practice into our reading block. The math games are going to bring that excitement and motivation into our math time. And I'm very excited to see the students using the document camera to show off their math strategies and support students learning.

Please help bring fun and excitement into learning math in my classroom.

Help me hear, "I love math! Can we do some more?" or the best comment of all, "OOOHH I get it now!" With your support math can be fun!
