Magnetic Mathematicians

Help me give my students magna tiles for building and more math games!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lahti's classroom raised $268

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students I teach range from 3rd grade to 8th grade. Some of them I teach whole group, while others I pull during our intervention times. Like all students, their academic needs vary, with some being a little bit behind (for now), and others being more advanced and ready for a new challenge.

It's my belief that all learners, regardless of where they are in their mathematical journey, should have access to rigorous and fun math material.

I'm hoping that by adding even more to my collection, all students who I teach will have something at their level. I'm also asking for Magna Tiles for my students to use during incentive time, as it's super important to get students off "screens" when they're with me!
