My Project

These projects integrate calculators, bulletin boards, and an organizer to create an interactive and engaging learning environment. Calculators help students quickly perform computations, analyze data, and explore mathematical concepts in Physical Science Lessons with confidence. The bulletin board serves as a dynamic space for visualizing their problem-solving processes, showcasing key formulas, and sharing student achievements. By combining these tools, students develop a deeper understanding of numbers and critical thinking skills in a way that is both hands-on and visually stimulating. The goals of this project are to improve problem-solving skills, enhance visual learning, boost engagement, and encourage peer learning.
