FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brinker's classroom raised $657

My Students

My math students are a diverse group of 6th graders living in Cleveland. Many students do not have the means to buy basic school supplies.

Despite not having the latest technology to learn basic math facts, my students come to school eager to learn and excited to be in math class.

We discover new ways to model math and discuss how math is relevant to their world. They love hands-on, engaging, and challenging projects. They enjoy working together to solve problems. In our math class students are challenged to find multiple ways to solve math problems.

By working with their peers, students learn different ways to solve problems. These students take great pride in displaying their work.

My Project

Students in my homeroom have various levels of math abilities. This is an inclusion classroom with students working on different levels of math skills to achieve the goals of their individual learning plans.

Math VersaTiles will provide a fun and engaging puzzle format that will encourage students to work on basic skill practice independently or in small groups.

Students will be able to work on skills by creating a puzzle design with tiles that students can self-correct. Students will be able to get caught up on math gaps that will lead them to understand the necessary math concepts for their current grade. With Math VersaTiles, students can easily check their own work and become confident in math.
