Learning in a Fun Way

Help me give my students these educational math games to keep my students engaged.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carson's classroom raised $307

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach third-grade math to students in an urban city. Most of these students come from single-parent homes and lack the support of parental involvement in school activities. My students are excited and eager about learning new things in the classroom on a daily basis. My students are inspired to learn mathematics in a fun way to keep them focused, and engaged.

My kids need to be able to retain new skills taught by the end of the school year.

My Project

My students deserve to learn and have fun while doing it. Students today enjoy playing games. My students need these materials to help aid in learning. The students will be engaged more with these resources. The students will be able to learn and play educational games that incorporate the Math Indiana Academic Standards. Your donations will improve my classroom by providing extra resources for the students. It will change my students' lives because it will show them that as a teacher, I care for them and would like to make learning fun. These resources will help students who don't catch on the first time a new concept is taught.
