Mrs. MacDermaid from Lowell MI is requesting Books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Scholastic MATH brings a STEM Connection to 6th Grade Math

Help me give my students a year long subscription to Scholastic MATH. It connects the math that we learn to all other subjects and shows my students how math applies to real life high interest topics.

My Students

My students come to LMS from our three Elementary Feeder schools. Our area covers over 134 square miles in the City of Lowell and surrounding rural areas. We are located 18 miles east of Grand Rapids and offer educational opportunities where every student is guided and encouraged to reach his or her full potential.

My students are the reason I am still teaching after 20 years and the reason I keep coming back year after year.

The Red Arrow Motto is. . .Learners today, Leaders tomorrow, Red Arrows for Life!

My Project

Having a classroom subscription to Scholastic MATH will give my students the chance to see how real-world math is all around them. They will encounter math related to: Social Studies, Sports, History, Science, Pop Culture, Art and More!

Each article applies math concepts to a high-interest topic and features motivational practice problems to build math confidence.

Additionally, Scholastic MATH supports math standards at both the state and national levels.

This resource will not only allow me to integrate more STEM topics in my Math classroom, it will also allow me to integrate nonfiction literacy, and help to prepare our kids for high-stakes testing in both Math and Reading.
