Math Essentials

Help me give my students a secure place to store their textbooks, and working calculators.

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

My Project

I love that my students are curious problem-solvers who bring creativity and energy into the classroom every day. They ask thoughtful questions, work together to figure things out, and celebrate each other’s successes. Many of them persevere through challenges not just in math, but in life, and I admire the determination they show when learning something new.

The shelves will give my students a more organized and welcoming classroom space.

With supplies stored neatly and easy to find, students can spend more time learning and less time searching for materials. A tidy classroom also helps them take ownership of their space, encourages responsibility, and builds pride in their learning environment.

The calculators will give every student equal access to a vital tool for math. These calculators will support students as they practice problem-solving, explore patterns, and focus on understanding concepts instead of being held back by long computations. They’ll be especially helpful during group work, review days, and when tackling real-world math problems. Having a set of calculators means all of my students can participate fully and confidently, no matter their background.

Together, these resources will empower my students to stay focused, organized, and engaged in their learning.
