My Project

Math isn’t just numbers—it's storytelling, design, and power. Many of my students, especially those with IEPs or learning differences, understand math best when they can visualize, color, and create.

We need fresh supplies to bring visual and tactile learning to life: markers, chart paper, colored pencils, scissors, glue, and graphic organizers.

These tools help students show their thinking in ways that build confidence and joy.

This year I was able to see the dire need and ran into an issue of lacking supplies to support students with adequate notebooks and tools to organize their work.
