Improving Math Skills With Proper Tools

Help me give my students tools to improve their math knowledge and skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Carpenter's classroom raised $487

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have the job of starting teaching with my new students half way during the school year. Many of the students do not have the proper tools to help them learn the material. These tools are nessacary to help students improve.

The items requested can help out in different ways.

Headphones are needed when using online learning programs. Students are able to learn better when using the headphones to help them focus on what their lesson is teaching them and blocking out the noise around them. The calculators are a vital tool for student success. Students need time with the calculators to know how to correctly use them and to know the reasonableness' of their answer. Students will use the white boards to help them show work. The work will be corrected if needed to support student understanding.

Please consider supporting students who are eager to learn.
