My Project

I plan to make the most of the organizational supplies to create an efficient and engaging learning environment. First, with a numbered calculator organizer, students will have easy access to calculators and I will quickly be able to recognize if one is missing while students pack-up after each class. This will save valuable instructional/work time and keep the focus on learning while allowing students to be self sufficient.

Storage bins placed at each table will help keep essential supplies like pencils, rulers, highlighters, dry erase markers, and others organized at each table group.

Students can easily find the tools they need for various math activities and assignments throughout the year. It will encourage accountability as students will be responsible for maintaining the supplies at their table.

The hanging file folders and bins will be a game changer for organizing a "missing work" for assignments when a student is absent or misplaced their original. I will also have a section for "problems of the week" for early finishers to work on challenging math problems. The stackable paper trays will serve as "turn-in" bins. Each class period will have a shelf and students will know where to place their work whenever they complete it throughout the day.

With these organizational supplies, my math classroom will be a well-structured space with routines that students are familiar with. This efficient space helps students focus on learning, collaboration, and growth.

Thank you in helping us create an environment that promotes organization, engagement, and success in math!
