I am a new math teacher, I normally teach science so I am constantly looking for creative ways to deliver content. I love Project Based Learning, but that means recreating the wheel. The Teacher Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to focus less on content creation and more on building connections with my students and their families. The Wacom will be super useful for teaching and correcting math. It is really hard to write using a mouse or typing the problems. I find that sometimes typing gets in the way of my accuracy. The Wacom will allow me to work faster and more accurately.
