My students need Origami paper and other art supplies to bring math to life.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Goldman's classroom raised $1,047
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are loud and proud! Despite many socioeconomic obstacles, they continue to show up for life. Because they live in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the United States and have to face hurdles most people would quickly be disillusioned by, these kids need our support.
My students are aware of the benefits of education, and are willing to do whatever is needed to achieve success.
Their resiliency constantly amazes me, and I am honored to be a part of their lives.
My Project
Teaching math, through traditional "skill and drill," works for some students, but not most. "Empowering Students Through Art" provides multiple entry points for all students to gain a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.
My students will make connections to geometry by experiencing the ancient art of folding paper, origami.
They will use the requested origami paper and origami books, as they analyze and create geometric solids known as polyhedrons, and have a firm understanding of the mathematics behind their creations. Through hands-on creations, even the less articulate math students can blossom and flourish. Origami provides many opportunities for hands on learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
