Hands-On Middle School Math!

Help me give my students hands-on learning! This is essential for middle school students to truly understand and connect with mathematical concepts such as volume, inequalities, probability, and integer operations.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Understanding math becomes exciting and meaningful when students can see and touch the concepts they’re learning! I am asking for 3D shapes, x- and y-axis graph materials, expo markers, integer game cards, and interactive math games to give my 7th and 8th graders hands-on experiences with geometry, graphing, and number operations. These tools will help students build a deep, lasting understanding of math by letting them visualize equations, practice critical skills in a fun way, and collaborate with their classmates.

My students are incredibly creative, curious, and full of potential—they just need the right tools to help unlock their confidence.

Your support will help turn our math class into a space where every student feels empowered to take risks, think critically, and grow a lifelong love for learning!
