My Students
My students are mathletes in training and it is my goal to show students that math is not only important in their lives but can be fun as well. With the new common core curriculum, my students have learned to embrace the struggle and enjoy learning the various concepts in math.
I have a very diverse group of students.
I teach two different types of classes; one eighth grade level math course and two eighth grade Algebra course. They have varying levels of math comprehension but are hard workers. Not only are my students diverse in their ethnic backgrounds but also diverse in their socioeconomic statuses.
My Project
My students love hands on activities that tie in what they are learning in math and seeing the relevance it has in the real world. Being able to provide students with hands on experiences makes math that much more meaningful for them.
One of the materials that I am requesting is a class set of clear geometric volume models where students will be able to see the relationship between the volumes of cylinders, cones, and spheres.
The other materials requested through this project are resources that will provide me as an educator with ideas for more hands on activities that can be incorporated within my classroom. For instance, one of the resources requested is "The Middle School Mathematician". This book is filled with puzzles, games, and cooperative learning activities that will encourage students to use critical thinking skills to accomplish a task.
