Mrs. Bunn from Charlotte NC is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
My students need the multiplication games and CDs to help them learn and remember the multiplication facts in a fun and exciting way.

Do you remember how you had to practice your multiplication facts over and over again with flashcards? Do you remember how much you hated that? Well there are easier and more interesting ways for students to learn their multiplication facts now and it is a lot more fun.
My students come from all over the city because we are a city magnet school.
Most of the students struggle with the multiplication facts and have very few opportunities to practice them at home because they are usually on the bus by 7 am and not home until 5:30 pm. They have only a few hours at home and don't get a lot of time to do homework let alone practice their multiplication facts. The children love to play games and listen to music. By using games and music, the students will have more success at remembering their basic multiplication facts. They will be able to learn the facts quicker and not have to trudge through card after card like we did when we were younger.
The materials I have requested will help my third graders prepare for their future through playing games that require them to recall the basic multiplication facts. The students will be able to work in small groups practicing their facts in a fun and safe classroom environment. These games will also reinforce division as students learn to see the correlation of the fact families. The students will be able to work together to solve problems and help find solutions to factors that most students struggle to learn. Since most children love to sing songs and learn them quickly, the CD's will enable them to listen and sing the songs that help them quickly learn the more difficult factors. We can play the CD's during math workshop as a class or at the listening center for small groups. The CD's will teach the students songs that help them memorize the facts in a more fluent manner than just basic memorization with flash cards.
The children of today need rigor and relevant activities that will challenge them as well as let them become successful.
With people like you, taking an interest in my students, they will become successful in multiplication. Your contribution to my project will help my students become efficient mathematicians and multiply their possibilities for the future.
