Help me give my students the tools they need to become confident, hands-on mathematicians! With rulers, pencils, a balance scale, and a yard stick, my students will be able to explore measurement concepts through real-world, interactive activities.

My Project
What I love most about my students is their curiosity and eagerness to explore the world around them. They ask big questions, love solving problems, and light up when they discover something new. They’re creative, hands-on learners who thrive when they can touch, move, and measure the world, not just read about it.
The rulers and yard sticks will give them the opportunity to measure objects around the classroom and school, making math feel real and relevant.
Pencils are a basic but essential tool. They allow my students to record their findings, sketch ideas, and solve problems with pride. The balance scale will help them understand weight and comparison in a tangible way, reinforcing key concepts in our measurement and data units.
These resources may seem simple, but they will turn our classroom into an active, engaging space where math is more than just numbers on a page—it’s something they can experience, question, and enjoy.
More than half of students from low‑income households
