My Project

The items selected will be beneficial to my students as we continue to work on various math concepts throughout the year. My students use a lot of ruled paper as they are solving math problems to show their work. Erasers are always needed as our classroom is a safe environment to make mistakes. Erasers and dry erase markers are essential.

The laminator and scissors would be great for my students math projects to be displayed on our boards or and as future references.

The goal is to make learning fun and math applicable to them. The snacks and special erasers and pencils are incentives to help keep my students motivated.
