My Project

I provide math intervention to an urban city middle school where 60% of the nearly 800 students are 2 or more grades below in their math standards. I have primarily supported students in 7th grade but also with 6th and 8th. I collaborate with 2 other math specialists in the building and all general/special education teachers who offer support during students WINN (What I Need Now) class in math. We need VersaTiles, math games, flash cards, and more. We all share available manipulatives, anchor charts, and other materials to differentiate among our students based on what level of math they are at to get them to grade level in a fun and interactive way. We are currently on a budget freeze and are in desperate need of materials to help our so amazingly deserving students. My goal is to get students to increase their number and operations grade level math skills by at least one grade this year.
