My Project

My students come from an underserved population. I need to ensure their progress to become independent thinkers so they can be an asset to their community. I have the best job in the world, to make a difference. Each day, I have the privilege of instructing students in core subjects. I want them to solve real life problems and come up with solutions for daily problem-solving.

For learning about their environment and becoming well versed in math & science and using problem solving skills will be very useful for our boys and girls to become self- confident and take charge as leaders.

They will be using these essential materials for problem-solving, and these materials will provide challenges to them and will help motivate and ignite my students' thinking.

It will spark their imaginations, while they are having fun at school and learning math skills to succeed.

We will be excited to learn about math, do challenging tasks, and solve puzzles to boost critical thinking, speed, and accuracy to help math skills become second nature! My students feel as if it is too challenging and stressful to learn and be on task. These materials will make school a lot of fun and keep them engaged and motivated.
