Marvelous Math Materials!

Help me give my students an in-depth math experience by fulfilling my request for frequently used materials, flexible seating, rewards and manipulatives. My students need engaging materials to be able to access content in a meaningful way.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gemmell's classroom raised $436

My Project

I love that my classroom is full of diverse learners. I strive to provide a wide variety of materials that appeal to the diverse learning styles of my students. Not all students learn the same way, and my goal as an educator is to ensure that all students are able to access mathematical content in a meaningful and understandable way. By having the requested materials available I will be able to reach even more students and structure my class in a way to help the maximum number of students to be successful.
