My Project
Middle school math is a turning point for many students. It’s when math becomes more abstract, and some begin to doubt their abilities, believing they aren't "math people." Even high-achieving learners face challenges as the need for consistent practice increases. These crucial years not only prepare students for their first major math milestone—the Algebra I Regents exam—but also shape their lifelong attitudes toward math.
Our diverse group of learners, including those in an ICT (Integrated Co-Teaching) classroom, thrives with differentiated, engaging materials that make math accessible and enjoyable.
That’s why I’m requesting 3 TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers) gift cards. These resources will provide us with creative tools, including open-ended “low floor, high ceiling” tasks and visual organizers, to help students stay engaged and build confidence as they tackle math concepts at their own pace.
With your support, we can help every student see themselves as a "math person" and foster a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Thank you for believing in the potential of ALL learners and for helping make math exciting, meaningful, and approachable.
