My Students

Teaching in a school with a very high poverty rate takes a toll on the students and their parents as well as their teachers. My students are always excited to work on projects that are hands-on! They come to school ready to work when they know they will get to participate in an activity or project that is active and engaging.

I think it's important for students to know that the application of the math concepts we learn in class can be really fun!!

My aim is to include as many opportunities for students to apply the mathematics as possible.

My Project

My 130ish 8th grade math students have already begun their quilt project! They each designed a quilt block that incorporated at least two different types of transformations (reflections, rotations, translations or dilations) and have started hand sewing their blocks using the English Paper Piecing technique. Each class is creating their own quilt...so we are in the process of making 6 quilts! The quilts will be donated at the end of the school year and the students will decide where they will donate each quilt.

Surprisingly, my 8th grade students are ENJOYING the process of sewing by hand and applying the math concepts they have learned in class.

We are all excited to see the final quilts!

Please help me provide the remaining materials to finish off the quilts for my students. Your donation is greatly appreciated!
