My Project

Our school is a Title I school that will be implementing a Mathematics Lab that will serve as a dynamic, hands-on learning environment designed to enhance student engagement and achievement in mathematics. Equipped with modern technology, manipulatives, and collaborative tools, the lab will support inquiry-based learning and personalized instruction for diverse learners. This project will enable the creation of a space where students can explore mathematical concepts in real-world contexts, develop critical thinking skills, and build a strong foundation for future academic and career success. This project will allow students to become critical math thinkers!
