Mr. Yeddula from Lexington MS is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Hands-On vs. Memorization - Part 2

Help me give my students sets of The Algebra Game, The House that Pythagoras Built, Pythagorean Theorem Tiles Sets, and Algebra Equations Bingo to understand and apply Math knowledge so that they can be ready for exams like Algebra 1 State Test, ACT and competitive exams with a better understanding.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I work in a rural part of the Mississippi Delta in a high school with nearly 850 students. I teach around 100-130 students per day with 2 different preps (Algebra 2 and College Algebra) this year. My students need complete sets of Algebra games to better understand Algebra concepts.

The class motto is: “Come to Learn and Go to Serve.”

I want to give my best as a teacher to my students and want my students to come to my classroom to learn, experience, and explore their learning and opportunities and then go to serve their families, communities, and country. Every opportunity, every time they come to my classroom will help my students to be lifelong learners.

My Project

As a teacher, I observed that my students are struggling with basic math concepts which are very important and required for their learning to take the test/quiz, State Exams, ACT and any other competitive exams. My students are having some misunderstanding and/or misconceptions on basic concepts like positive and negative numbers, adding and subtracting fractions, combining like terms and operations on polynomials, factoring trinomials and solving equations. This project will help my students to understand and apply math concepts in a better way rather than Roth memorization.

A complete set of Algebra games will help my ninth and tenth graders to better understand and apply the knowledge of operations and properties of numbers, polynomials, factoring and solving equations which will prepare them for Algebra 1 State Test, my eleventh graders to understand and apply their knowledge of Real Number, Operations on Polynomials and solving equations while preparing and taking ACT test, and for my seniors to prepare for advanced placement exams, college entrance exams, and any competitive exams for scholarships.
