My Project

My students love listening to music and are always asking me to play music in the classroom. Depending upon the activity, music can help them to stay engaged and be more excited to be in math class. The Bluetooth speaker would be perfect for projecting that music and is portable enough to be used wherever we are.

I like for my students to be active participants in class.

So, we do various projects which demonstrate how math is used in the real world. The teal 3 drawer mobile file cabinet will not only match the ocean theme of my room, but will give my students a dedicated place to keep their work until it is finished. Once they are finished, they are required to present their project. A Bluetooth microphone will ensure that everyone in the room is able to hear what they are saying.
