Reading Our Way To Better Math Skills!

My students need books that will help them to learn math concepts. Each of these books helps to teach them a math concept.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ivy's classroom raised $163

This project is fully funded

My Students

We don't understand? Yes I hear that all the time when I am trying to explain a math concept. These books will help kids to understand those concepts through stories.

The students I work with are the kindest and are always eager to learn.

However, they often struggle with basic skills. Most come from very economically challenged homes. They struggle with their math grades and we have been working hard to help these students. These books will be a way for them to learn these concepts in a different way through stories.

My Project

These 21 books that I am asking for are all ones that will help my students to understand math concepts. I have a classroom of very low math students. We have tried many different techniques. I recently attended a training that talked about using stories of math concepts to help kids understand the concept. These books are all recommended books for teaching various math concepts. I know these books can make a huge difference.

Thank you so much for looking at our project.

We know that these books will help add to our learning. These materials will be used over and over to help not only the students this year but in years to come.
