My Project

This is my first year teaching seventh grade mathematics. I have taught eighth grade for the last thirteen years and now I am "starting over." I am not familiar with the curriculum and will be developing all new assignments and activities.\

My students are adventurous and love to be challenged.

With being in a new grade-level, the students are a year younger than what I have taught in the past, but I am sure they are still just as adventurous.

The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will be used to incorporate fun activities within our lessons and concepts. The headphones will be used for our computerized testing that is conducted three times a year. Also, many students do not have the financial means to purchase their own set. The book will be used as a resource as well with it being a new curriculum and grade.
