Math Matters: RTI Interventions for Enhancing Learning in Underfunded Districts

Help me give my students the math manipulatives and a calming corner are needed for math intervention in a poor school district to provide hands-on, engaging learning experiences that improve understanding and retention of mathematical concepts.

My Project

In this project, math manipulatives and classroom supplies will be used to create an interactive and supportive learning environment tailored to the unique needs of our students. By incorporating items such as base-ten blocks, fraction circles, and interactive whiteboards, we aim to provide hands-on experiences that make abstract mathematical concepts more tangible and understandable. These resources will enable students to visualize and engage with math in a concrete way, fostering deeper comprehension and retention. Our goals are to enhance mathematical proficiency, improve problem-solving skills, and build confidence in students who have historically faced educational inequities. Our students are special because they come from diverse, underserved backgrounds, bringing with them a wealth of potential and resilience. This project seeks to empower them with the tools and opportunities they need to excel in math, bridging gaps in their education and paving the way for future success.
