Magnetic Tiles for Geometry

Help me give my students the gift of magnetic tiles to enhance our geometry unit.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $959

This project is fully funded

My Project

Please consider supporting my students with the gift of magnetic tiles to enrich our geometry unit. These tiles will provide a hands-on way for students to explore how 2D nets relate to 3D prisms. When students can engage in tactile learning, they retain concepts much more effectively. I’ll encourage them to build shapes like cubes, triangular prisms, square-based pyramids, and triangular-based pyramids, deconstruct them, and calculate their surface area and volume. These magnetic tiles will offer more than just a fun activity—they’ll deepen students' understanding of key geometric concepts. Thank you for your support.
