Help my students become the future! I try to convince them that there is a purpose for math beyond the classroom. This purpose rarely gets taught to students, and they rarely experience it because they are caught up in learning standards and then being assessed on them. To many students, the purpose of math is to learn a skill that leads to a grade on a report card. Students rarely question why they are taking English. Reading and writing are everywhere. My goal is to show my students the true purpose of math. Help them see that math is here to help them better understand and explain the world around them. My wish list helps me use real-life math lessons to help them see this. My students will be better for it!
