My Students
My students are classified as special education students. They are classified with different disabilities, most prominent speech and language difficulty. My school receives students from the homeless shelter. The school also provide uniforms, food, and various other supplies to the students are housed in homeless shelters. My school's population is made up of 47% English Language Learners.
My students are low-level readers but have a great passion for books, a passion for learning, and they try really hard despite their disability.
The students in my class come from all cultures, such as Ghana, Puerto Rico, and American. My students smile every day and are eager learn new things. They like to use the fine Motor skills to create and construct things.
Despite my student's disabilities, I push them hard to come close to grade level in the content area. I always tell my students, a disability is a condition, it doesn't define who you are. So, with that being said, I have high expectations for my students.
My Project
The main purpose of math art is to help me introduce, reinforce and expand upon the topics my students are required to learn. By blending the subject of mathematics and art. Students will use the math kits to reinforce what topic in math they will be working on, then use the construction paper to create their own art or game of the math topic presented.
Math art is capable of motivating students, increasing students retention of knowledge, and assisting the instruction of visual learners, kinesthetic learners and English language learners.
At the end of each lesson, and after using the math games as a reinforcement, the students will create an aesthetically-pleasing project that will focuses on a fundamental or " broad" mathematical topic.
