My Project

Help me give my students markers and coloring materials to bring their Geometry Arts Integrated Projects to life!

My students are creative, curious, and eager to connect math with art.

This project will provide them with high-quality markers and coloring supplies, allowing them to visually express geometric concepts through hands-on, integrated art assignments. With these materials, students will be able to design, color, and showcase their understanding of geometry in a way that is both engaging and meaningful.

Your donation will directly impact my classroom by giving students the tools they need to succeed, collaborate, and take pride in their work. Thank you for helping me give my students the resources to make learning both colorful and memorable!
