Leveling the Playing Field for Math Success

Help me give my students an organized, interactive, and welcoming classroom filled with the tools they need to stay engaged, collaborate with their peers, build confidence, and reach their full potential every day.

Ms. Bailey Falkener Elementary School

Greensboro, NC Grades 3-5

My Project

My students come to school each day with curiosity, determination, and a willingness to take on new challenges. They celebrate one another's successes, encourage their classmates when learning becomes difficult, and remind me daily that every child is capable of growth when given the right opportunities. Many of my students learn best through movement, discussion, and hands-on experiences, so I strive to create a classroom where they feel valued, engaged, and excited to participate.

The portable standing podium and presentation clicker will allow me to move freely throughout the classroom instead of being confined to one location which will allow me to provide immediate feedback, monitor student understanding, and support small groups while continuing instruction.

Students benefit from a more interactive learning environment where the teacher is actively engaged alongside them rather than standing at the front of the room.

The storage caddies will help keep math manipulatives, classroom supplies, and collaborative learning materials organized and easily accessible. When students can quickly retrieve and return materials, we spend more time learning and less time transitioning between activities.

The bulletin board borders and dry-erase markers will help create inviting learning spaces that celebrate student work, reinforce important math concepts, and support daily instruction.

Finally, the classroom rug will become the heart of our learning community. It will provide a comfortable space where students can gather for mini-lessons, number talks, collaborative problem-solving, and classroom discussions. The rug will foster a sense of belonging while encouraging teamwork, communication, and active participation.

These investments will create a welcoming, organized, and engaging environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed. Students will be better prepared to collaborate, stay focused, and build the confidence they need to become successful learners.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
