Mindful Math

Help me give my students Math books to support their mathematical thinking and learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Travis's classroom raised $397

This project is fully funded

My Project

I'm requesting these Math books to help make learning Math concepts relatable and engaging. These books will help students visualize new mathematical concepts as they are being introduced. Students will also be able to reference the books throughout the school year for ongoing support, reviewing previous skills and for pure enjoyment.

Reading Math related texts will help students communicate, analyze and interpret mathematical ideas and concepts.

This will support students in evaluating problems and sources of information which fosters mathematically literate students. Integrating reading during math will also reinforce process skills needed for both math and reading. Reading and talking about these texts will also support students in writing about Math.
