Help me give my students access to real world project based learning to help them connect abstract math to real world skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Mx. Jacobs's classroom raised $513

My Project
I work in a special education math class where all of my students are 3+ grade levels behind. My students struggle with traditional curriculum as it is often abstract and my students struggle with abstract concepts.
I will use these gift cards to buy the 21st Century Math Projects set for all grades.
Because of the span of students' understanding, I plan on using a variety of the projects available. My students can do work ranging from 3rd grade through 8th grade. Projects not only connect the math to real world skills, but it also allows differentiation so that students at different levels can complete the same project.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
