Making Math Come to Life!

Help me give my students some new materials to make math more exciting for them. Picture books about the content will spark their attention. New dry erase supplies, dice and counting tiles will help us practice new skills.

My Students

I work with inner-city students who attend a school with a 98% poverty rate. My students are bursting with energy and excitement for learning new things. Most of my students live within walking distance of the school in a neighborhood facing issues that consist of drugs, prostitution, and homelessness. Many of my students are exposed to countless challenges at a very young age. Our school is constantly dealing with issues related to low attendance rates and absent parents.

Despite their daily challenges, I am looking to provide my students with a safe place that is rich, loving, and filled with meaningful learning experiences.

My students are in need of materials that will positively influence their love of learning. My students make a huge impact on my life and I would like to do the same for them by giving them opportunities, materials, and experiences that will last a lifetime!

My Project

As we continue to be unsure of how we will be expected to teach our children this year, I am trying to plan ahead and think of everything we might need to be successful. My students are in need of new dry erase materials and manipulatives (enough for learning at home and at school while keeping everything socially distanced). Colored paper will make activities easier to organize and more visually appealing for students. Also, new picture books about content will help spark interest in the children as we learn about new things.
