Powering Visuals for SPED Math Students

Help me give my students this wide-format printer to create clear visuals, math steps, reference sheets, schedules, and reminders that they will return to daily and say, “Now I can see it! Now I get it!”

My Project

My students often say, “Now I can see it! Now I get it!” when a concept finally clicks, usually while looking at a printed visual on the whiteboard that we created together. Clear, enlarged math models, step-by-step examples, and SEL reminders make a huge difference, especially for students with learning differences and those with eagle-eye attention to detail who thrive on consistency. (Yes, I’ve had students get completely thrown off by a wrong date on the board!)

A wide-format printer like the Epson EcoTank will allow me to create full-color materials my students can rely on, big enough for everyone to see, review, and revisit as we learn together.

I can print weekly schedules, math vocabulary posters, and SEL reminders that help students stay calm, focused, and in the loop.

Combined with the fast, reliable laptop I just wrote a project for, this printer completes the picture. With these two tools, I feel focused, equipped, and ready to deliver exactly what our students need in our special education classroom.
