Closing the Math Knowledge Gap

Help me give my students vertical whiteboards so they can work in small groups to learn math through collaborative problem solving and base-10 blocks and discs to work on concrete math.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stark's classroom raised $998

My Project

The students at our school are a diverse group of learners at varying academic levels. We have a high population of English Language Learners, children living in poverty, and with limited exposure to life outside of our island. Although our students are back on campus, the lasting effects of COVID-19 still need to be addressed. The vertical white boards will be used for students to work in small groups to learn math through collaborative problem solving. The base-10 blocks and discs will be used to help students build conceptual understanding before working in the abstract. They missed this opportunity during covid when lessons were virtual.
