Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Our students have found this school after having difficulties at traditional high schools. They need an alternative environment that meets their diverse needs, which can include having jobs and raising families.

My students struggle in Math and have "math fear" due to negative educational outcomes in their pasts.

Each student has set a personal Math goal this semester, some have chosen to become better at consumer/financial math so she can understand her own money needs, and another just wants to make sure he gets an A in the class. They are a special group of kids who have special needs, both personally and academically.

My Project

My students struggle to engage in traditional learning, so having these fun game options that involve math skills will really help them to enjoy learning math. The magazines will help them to understand how Math is part of every day life, and will help them to practice reading and applying math outside of school.

Having hands on learning is essential, flipping the pages of a magazine is a different experience than just swiping the screen.

I want to provide them a broad sensory experience in class that includes flash cards, games, books and technology. This will increase the brain’s ability to form new connections that will help the new skills stick so they can meet the goals they set for themselves.
