I Love Math

Help me give my students headphones, dry erase paddles, and other items for a creative outlook on math by making learning interactive and engaging. With the right resources and support, I’m excited to create a classroom where everyone feels confident, curious, and excited about math.

My Project

As a first-year teacher, my primary goal is to inspire a love for math in all of my students. I believe math is not just a subject—it’s a language of patterns, logic, and problem-solving that can be both fun and empowering.

To help students see math in this light, I aim to create a dynamic and engaging classroom environment with headphones, dry erase paddles, and other items.

This includes offering flexible seating options, encouraging both independent and collaborative work based on student preferences, and incorporating daily use of individual whiteboards to promote active participation in every lesson. With the right tools and environment, I’m confident that every student can find joy and confidence in math.
