Bring Math to Life!

Help me give my students math materials to engage them and support their understanding of complex concepts!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ellis's classroom raised $800

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are brilliant, engaging, and hardworking 4th graders. I have the privilege of teaching these bright and interesting young people each day.

The goal in our classroom is for all students to learn while also seeing themselves as learners who are ready to take on new challenges.

Our classroom community is filled with students who are excited about learning. My school is located in a low-income area; 75% of my students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch. The neighborhood is a mixture of cultures, first and second-generation immigrants as well as students and families who have called it home for generations. It is an incredible group of families, students, teachers, and community partners.

My Project

Fourth grade is full of challenging math concepts! Helping my students grow as mathematicians and developing their ability to understand complicated concepts is exciting. Please partner with me in this work!

One way to help support student learning is through games and visualizing concepts by using math manipulatives.

The resources I’ve requested will help students in most of our math units for 4th grade. A variety of partner and class games will allow me to engage students while also teaching new concepts and reviewing those they’ve learned before.

By supporting this project, you are helping me create a learning environment where students will thrive!
