Math Is the Language of the Universe!

Help me give my students their very own math workbooks. Each student would have a workbook to follow and practice their math skills in order to be successful in second grade.

My Students

My students are some of the sweetest and kindest children. They are incredibly appreciative and grateful to have the love and support from their teachers and come in to school eager and ready to learn. My students are being educated in the urban city of Paterson, New Jersey. My students are from various cultural, socioeconomic, and linguistic backgrounds which enhance the learning experience and environment. As a special education teacher, my students need to be taught through different learning styles such as visual, auditory and kinesthetic in order to reach their potential and succeed both academically and socially.

My Project

These math workbooks will enhance the learning of all of our second grade students. These math books will provide our students with a helpful learning tool that will guide and drive their instruction. Unfortunately, my school district cannot afford to provide each and every student with text books and other learning materials. I would like to be able to give each and every student their own math resources.

Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit.

Without mathematics, there’s nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers. Mastering math skills are incredibly important and these workbooks can help my students excel academically!
