My Project

I am trying to provide resources for my students as to make my classroom more actively engaging while not on a device. All students can learn mathematics when you engage all their learning styles. I'm trying to incorporate more active learning techniques with my middle schoolers.

By purchasing white boards and markers, I can allow each of them to "work on the board" while I don't physically have space for 32 kids at my large white board.

I have also requested snacks to help motivate them. Middle school students are especially motivated by any kind of snack, so I am hoping to keep their attention longer with a goal of earning a snack.

I have also requested things like colored pencils for our inquiry based learning tasks and projects along with a few resources for my students to be more college, career or LIFE ready.
