My Project

For English learning students, understanding mathematical concepts can be particularly challenging due to language barriers. To bridge this gap and provide a supportive learning environment, our classroom urgently requires essential tools: headphones, a multiplication chart, and number lines. These resources will enable our English learning students to engage effectively with math education, fostering their confidence, understanding, and love for learning.

English learning students often face a unique set of challenges in the classroom.

Language barriers can hinder their ability to grasp mathematical concepts and engage in classroom activities. Without adequate support, these students might struggle to keep pace with their peers, leading to a lack of confidence and interest in math.

With headphones, students can access tailored content that suits their learning pace, ensuring that they grasp mathematical concepts effectively.

A multiplication chart is a fundamental aid in teaching multiplication tables. By having a visual representation of these tables readily available, English learning students can reinforce their understanding of basic arithmetic operations

For English learning students, number lines provide a clear and intuitive way to grasp numerical relationships, making abstract math concepts more tangible.
