My Project

I work with K-6 students in the area of mathematics, specifically mathematics intervention. Most students I work with were online learners for 1-2 years and missed many hands-on math opportunities during that time. This has created a gap in their math understanding that must be filled so they are able to access math at a higher level as they continue their education.

By donating to this project, you will be helping to increase students' math knowledge by allowing them to engage in meaningful activities that build confidence, deeper understanding, and a strong mathematics foundation.

Students' early math learning is a predictor of future academic success. Please help me reach these students so they can realize their amazing potential!
