My Project

My students are creative, determined learners who thrive when given the opportunity to work with hands-on materials. As a middle school special education teacher, I see firsthand how important it is to provide learning experiences that are engaging and accessible to all types of learners. Traditional worksheets can be overwhelming, but hands-on activities offer a meaningful way for my students to understand and practice important math concepts.

With the Lakeshore Learning Complete Math Activity Sets, my students will have the opportunity to physically engage with math.

These kits are designed to build foundational skills like fractions, geometry, number sense, and operations in a fun, interactive way. Students will be able to manipulate pieces, solve puzzles, and collaborate in small groups, making math more tangible and less intimidating.

By supporting this project, you will help my students gain the confidence and skills they need to succeed in math. Your donation will give them the tools to make connections between abstract ideas and real-world applications. Thank you for considering an investment in my students' education and helping them see themselves as capable mathematicians!
