My Project

Please help the scholars at my school the ability to keep the math mathing. The resources asked for will allow students to engage in mathematics in a fun and engaging way to help build those foundational and pre-requisite skills that are so desperately needed. Scholars love VersaTiles and Power Pens.

These activities provide a hands-on way to learn the math skills needed to be successful not only on the GMAS, but life in general.

Your help will allow all children no matter their zip code or socioeconomic status to succeed in math when given the right tools for success.
