My Students

My students are like all other kids, they want to learn and be challenged. They are a very diverse group when it comes to culture. They are about 50% Hispanic and 50% White. My school is a Title I school which means a majority of my students come from low-income families.

My Project

I have many different levels of learners in each of my classes. As a math teacher, it can be very challenging to differentiate for all levels. The lower-level learner tends to take much of my time because they need lots of one-on-one attention. I would like these items to help provide my high-level learners (who always seem to get done with their work early) with extra opportunities to challenge their minds. I like the way these types of games help the kids learn to problem solve. Kids love to compete so I believe these games will grab their attention as opposed to just giving them another worksheet with harder problems. Thank you for considering donating to my classroom.
