My students need dry erase materials to ensure math skills are learned without frustration.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Do you remember how frustrating it was to constantly erase the mistakes you made in your math notebook? The paper would rip, the eraser peels would be all over, and not only would you be frustrated, but your work area would be a mess. Imagine having the opportunity to practice on a dry erase board instead of on paper.
My students lives are hard enough.
Some live in shelters, some are the main caretakers for younger siblings, and some do not know where their next meal is going to come from. Despite all of this, students come to my math class wanting to learn. Even with all of this hardship, my students are determined to succeed.
In September, I will have 96 dedicated math students who are going to tackle both eighth grade mathematics and the NYS Integrated Algebra material (typically ninth grade) in one school year.
My Project
We all know with learning comes frustration, and to master two years worth of material in one year is no easy task. With these dry erase materials I have requested, students will be able to work in small teams or receive instructional support from me without constantly having to erase their mistakes.
Dry erase markers and boards will allow the students to practice graphing without getting frustrated, crinkling up their graph paper, and eventually giving up. Furthermore, with the dry erase adhesive and markers, I will now be able to have a help center where struggling students can come without being ashamed that they are not catching on, because using dry erase materials is fun!
Help get rid of the math curse.
Donate to aid my students in completing two years worth of mathematics instruction in one school year. Allow them to enter high school a year ahead of their peers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
