My Project

As a teacher, I strive to make math engaging, accessible, and interactive for my students. For many learners, especially those with diverse learning needs, visual and tactile resources can make a world of difference in building confidence and understanding.

That’s why I’m requesting Touchpoint Math Desktop Touchlines, Touchcards, and Touchpoint Posters for my classroom.

These materials are designed to help students connect abstract mathematical concepts with tactile experiences, promoting both engagement and retention.

Touchpoint Math Desktop Touchlines: These will provide my students with a hands-on way to learn number recognition, addition, subtraction, and more, right at their desks.

Touchcards: These cards will allow my students to practice math facts with a tactile element that helps reinforce their learning.

Touchpoint Posters: These colorful and engaging posters will be displayed in the classroom to provide constant visual reminders of math concepts and help students reference them throughout the day.

These resources are especially helpful for students who are visual or kinesthetic learners, and they will create an inclusive and supportive math environment for everyone. By bringing these tools into my classroom, I aim to foster a love for math and make learning more interactive for all my students.

Your generous donation will ensure that each student has access to these essential resources and can succeed in their math journey.

Thank you for supporting our classroom!
