Empowering Math Communication: Folders for Student Success

Help me give my students collaborative communication folders for homework and important information for parents.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Irvin's classroom raised $264

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am seeking funding for communication folders and printer paper to enhance the learning experience of my 7th-grade math students. These resources will provide them with essential tools to express their understanding and improve their communication skills in math.

Communication folders will serve as vital resources, allowing students to organize their work, reflections, and strategies in one place.

This will facilitate collaboration, enabling them to share their thought processes and problem-solving approaches with peers. Additionally, by having these folders, we are opening the door for more parental involvement in homework and weekly social-emotional check-ins. Parents will have greater access to their child's math growth, allowing them to engage more effectively in their learning journey.

The printer paper will allow students to create mini anchor charts, serving as powerful reminders of key concepts and strategies. They can personalize these charts with examples, diagrams, and notes, making the learning process more interactive and tailored to their needs. Utilizing these resources will strengthen their comprehension of math concepts while developing essential skills in communication and collaboration.

In conclusion, funding for communication folders and printer paper will significantly impact my 7th-grade math students. These resources will empower them to communicate effectively, collaborate with peers, and create visual aids that reinforce their learning. Thank you for considering this project!
