Organization for Math Class

Help me give my students (and myself) the gift of an organized classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kowala's classroom raised $498

My Project

As a math teacher I have a lot of manipulatives for students to use making my lessons more interactive and tangible. This requires many bins and organizers. I have over the years gathered items to hold the manipulatives, however, time (and students) has caused many of my bins to unusable.

Having clear locations for items helps students find what they need.

With clear containers, things are no longer "out of sight out of mind". Students will be able to quickly see what they need and access the materials. This is also great for language learners and special education students.
