Sharpening Our Math Skills with Pencils and Colored Pencils!

My Project

The specific items I am requesting will make a difference in their learning because some of our students are unable to bring basic supplies to school. We as teachers will have to provide a pencil for a lot of students to use all day. So having a sharpener will help the students to use one pencil during the day.

I want to add fun and color to math!

With colored pencils, we can easily identify angle relationships and do math projects that require us to color the picture after solving math problems.
