Making Math Moves With More Math Resources!

Help me give my students advanced math games, papermate pens, and an incentive spinner!

Chicago, IL Grades 3-5

My Project

This year I am the math interventionist, math instructional coach, and occasional classroom teacher due to our teacher shortages. This means I have the wonderful opportunity to service students across multiple grade bands in our school. This also means I am constantly restocking materials and getting different games to meet the needs of all of students.

I am asking for higher math games for my 6th-8th grade students, an incentive wheel, and more pens and pencils for our groups.

With these materials, each of my math groups can continue to be differentiated according to their unique needs.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
