My Project
My goals for the year are to give the students’ autonomy over their learning. I want to give them the opportunity to discover their abilities and gain confidence in their skills to problem solve and do math. Most students do not believe they are “math” people, but in a BTC classroom, they quickly discover that everyone can actually be a math person. After just a week, I can already see a change in my student. Having these extra materials will enable me to spread out the students into more groups. This will allow them to be more involved in every task. Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
