I'm requesting an adjustable height standing table for students to gather around in a portion of the classroom, as well as several logic puzzles and manipulatives. This desk will have a weekly puzzle for students to explore and solve. Students need the opportunity to think creatively and critically in a low-pressure situation. Math isn't all about numbers and letters; it's about logic, thinking critically, and perseverance. In addition to the standing table, I'm requesting several logic games and puzzles: a set of Geometiles Building Set, Shape Logic Board Game, Interlocking Disks for students to just create, Shape by Shape Creative Logic Puzzle, Izzi Puzzle, Shape by Shape, Tangrams, and Block by Block. I'm also requesting some logic and puzzle books: Puzzle Box Volume 1, 2, and 3, Area Mazes Volume 1 and 2, Can You Solve my Problems?, and Code Breaker (looking at cryptography). Each week, a new logic puzzle or game will be set on the table. Students will have the opportunity to "play" at the table during passing periods, when they have completed classwork, lunch time, or when they just need a break. By funding this project, you will provide a safe environment for all of my high school students to think and play creatively and critically, with the hope that this will bring less negative connotations toward mathematics. Mathematics is used EVERYWHERE and the ability to persevere, think creatively, and critically think are essential skills in the adult world.
