My Students

My 7th grade math scholars are stellar! We have been working hard on learning integer rules and solving word problems using MOLE. As their math teacher, I want to celebrate their wins by giving prizes to 20 scholars with the highest math grades by the end of the trimester.

My Project

Scholars work very hard in their math class. They deserve to be rewarded for achieving excellence with an A by the end of the trimester. This prize of gift cards will incentivize them to excel with A's and to uphold that grade through the end of their 7th grade year. This year in math is of great importance because high school is right around the corner and 7th year grades are of high priority for high schools. My 7th grade scholars can use these gift cards to buy what they want for achieving A's in math!
