Math in Motion: Creating, Designing, and Applying Real-World Skills

Help me give my students a Cricut machine, heat press, vinyl, and blank mugs to apply 7th grade math skills through real-world projects that explore measurement, scale, budgeting, and design in creative, hands-on ways.

My Project

I love how curious, creative, and hands-on my 7th grade math students are. They thrive when given opportunities to explore math in ways that are meaningful, engaging, and connected to the real world. Providing a Cricut machine, heat press, vinyl, blank mugs, and a wireless printer will transform our classroom into a dynamic, project-based learning space. With these tools, students will apply math skills like measurement, geometry, scaling, and budgeting as they design and create custom items. The wireless printer will allow them to print templates, labels, and designs directly from their devices, supporting digital literacy and precision. These resources will not only make math come alive but also foster creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills—helping every student feel capable and inspired to succeed.
