From Gaps to Greatness: Building Math 1 Success

Help me give my students disinfecting wipes, write & wipe boards, folder games, and more to strengthen foundational concepts.

Mrs. Leach Smith High School
Greensboro, NC Grades 9-12

My Project

My students are special because they are resilient, hardworking, and capable of growth when given the right support. My goal for this project is to help students build the foundational skills needed for success in Math 1 and to create a classroom where they feel confident and motivated. The instructional resources, such as the place value write and wipe boards, will provide targeted practice to strengthen prerequisite skills and close learning gaps. Snacks will reward effort, encourage participation, and celebrate progress. Classroom supplies, like disinfecting wipes, will create a clean, organized environment where students can focus and thrive. These resources will help students believe in their ability to succeed.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
