My Project

Let’s face it—middle school math can sometimes feel like climbing Mount Everest in flip-flops. But what if we turned those math mountains into exciting game boards, complete with laughter, competition, and actual learning?

I teach some of the most curious, hilarious, and brilliant 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students around.

They’re eager to learn, but they thrive when math doesn’t just come from a textbook—it comes from teamwork, quick thinking, and a little friendly competition!

That’s why I’m asking for your help to bring a collection of math games into our classroom. From fractions to algebra, integers to equations, these hands-on, minds-on games will help students build math muscles without even realizing they’re working out! Whether it's racing to solve equations or matching up ratios like pros, your donation will help make math feel less like a chore and more like a Friday night game night.

With your support, we can turn math time into play time—while still boosting confidence, critical thinking, and test scores. Help us level up our learning and show students that math really does add up to fun!
