My Students

I teach 6th grade math at a Title I school, which means that over 80% of the population is living in poverty. When people ask what I teach and I tell them math, they cringe and typically make the comment "I hated math!" At the beginning of each year I do a survey with my students to gauge their thoughts and confidence with math. Their answers vary among whether they like/dislike math but one thing that holds true is that they're not confident in their abilities.

Despite the challenges they are facing, whether it be at home or school, my students come in eager and ready to learn.

We focus on their strengths and potential from the moment they walk in the room.

I am looking for the opportunity to provide my students with materials to create a meaningful learning experience. I want my students to see all that they are capable. I am hoping to give them positive and creative learning environment to inspire my 6th graders to continue on a path of academic success. They are the future!

My Project

Students learn best and are more motivated when they are comfortable in their learning environment. When given the opportunity to choose where they're working, students are more engaged. Students enjoy hands-on activities and materials.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

The materials I have selected will provide a more effective learning environment. They give students the opportunity to get up and move to a different location. The wobble cushions will be beneficial to help get some of the wiggles out. On the flip side you have students who just want to be in the zone and eliminate distractions, the privacy folders will greatly support those students.

Students are also more engaged when provided the opportunity to use dry erase boards versus paper/pencil work.

I have seen how choice and engaging materials have positively impacted student work and demeanor!
