My Project
Thank you for considering funding my project. I am a 6th grade math teacher, working in a school district where almost all students are from low-income households.
I strongly believe that learning the money management to navigate the modern world is an essential skill and motivation is the key to success.
Giving students some tockens for positive behaviors that they can later redeem for incentives will not teach them the money management skills they need to be successful in life, but also give them motivation to persist longer, produce higher quality effort, and perform better in class.
Motivation has a strong impact on student learning and achievement. Students who are motivated to learn to persist longer, produce higher quality effort, and perform better in classes. I also print out individual rewards charts for my students, put them in sleeve protectors, and put stickers on whenever I catch them doing something positive. I use voice amplifier in the classroom, and feel that if students have one to use when participating in the discussion, they will do so more willingly. I have requested some math games, and some fun project supplies as well, as an end-of-the-month math time incentive that they can earn if they decide to save the tickets they get.
Are you with me in the strive for motivating my students and teaching them some real life money management skills?
Nearly all students from low‑income households
