My Students
I teach mathematics to an amazing group of approximately one hundred and twenty-five, diverse, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders at an urban middle school. The majority of my students receive reduced or free lunch.
All of my students struggle with math.
They are placed with me because they need math remediation and extra support. My goal is to not only bring them up to grade level but to instill a curiosity and love of problem-solving. Math should be fun.
My Project
This past year, our school district purchased the computer program, Dreambox, to help our students be proficient in middle school mathematics. Dreambox is an adaptive learning platform that creates an individualized learning path for each of my students. This means that each child will be met where they are mathematically and each child is set up for success.
I want to increase motivation and excitement for math with incentives to help my students meet their mathematical goals while using Dreambox.
Students are asked weekly to complete 5 lessons (as suggested by Dreambox). If they complete their weekly lessons they will be able to pick a vinyl sticker to put on their Chromebook or Binders. Stickers are really popular right now due to the variety to choose from. Students can choose ones that reflex their personality. They also increase ownership of their school distributed Chromebook. They are removable and reposition-able.
Incentives are so important to motivate middle schoolers. Many of my students dislike math and all of them are below grade level. The program, Dreambox, is very engaging and it is set up to easily reward students for their hard work.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
