My Project

Math becomes more meaningful and enjoyable for my students when it’s connected with the arts. By using visuals, movement, and creative expression, students are able to better understand math concepts such as symmetry, angles, and patterns. Arts integration allows them to experience math with both their minds and their bodies—making learning fun, engaging, and memorable.

To support this approach, I am requesting materials like a printer, crayons, and pencils.

These basic tools will help me and my students create colorful visuals, movement maps, math journals, and collaborative projects that blend math with artistic expression. With a printer, I can also provide clear, accessible templates and resources for all learners.

My goals are to:

Boost student engagement and confidence in math

Deepen understanding of key math concepts through hands-on, creative activities

Encourage interdisciplinary thinking and real-world connections

My students are curious, creative, and full of potential. They thrive when they can move, collaborate, and express themselves in new ways. Their diversity and energy bring our classroom to life, and I am committed to nurturing their love for learning through innovative, culturally responsive teaching.

With your support, we can turn math into a meaningful, artistic, and joyful experience for every student.
