My Students

I teach a group of inspired mathematicians that are very creative.

Demographically, my students come from over 20 different cultural backgrounds, each with their own individual skill set.

These students want to use real world scenarios to show their understanding!

My Project

I would like to purchase Legos to use in geometry class. We will use these to understand area, volume, surface area, cross sections, scale drawings angles and more. Legos will help me make the geometry section more hands on for my students. I hope to use Legos so my students can explore geometry concepts! This will help students with different learning styles to absorb the content and make the learning experience more fun, more tangible, and more meaningful. I thank you for your willingness to help me create a fun way to teach math to my students.
