This year our school's motto is "Level Up!" We are always looking for new and innovative ways to reach each and every one of our students to help them reach new heights.
I teach in a school-wide title one school.
My students might not have and abundance of financial resources, but what they do have is an abundance of curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. My students are very diverse learners. Some of them need additional support to learn the English language, and some of them need additional support to become strong mathematicians.
My Project
Tenmarks Teach is a powerful interactive Smart-board program that presents math concepts in an engaging way. My students will be guided through the concept building lessons as we build a strong foundation in numerical literacy and problem solving skills.
Tenmarks Premium works by assessing each student to find out that child's strengths and weakness. The program then prescribes individual lessons for acceleration and remediation. This differentiation is vital to moving all students forward to reach new levels.
The calculators I am requesting will make it possible for each of my students to have a calculator. One student will not be waiting for another student to finish. The replacement batteries will help keep the calculators going.
Once a student feels behind in math, he or she often believes that math is just too hard.
They often think they cannot get caught up. Others get bored because they are ready for harder challenges. The use of the Tenmarks program will help me address my students' needs on an individual basis. My goal is for all students to be successful. This tool will help make this goal a reality. My whole class will be able to "Level Up."
