My Project

Good pencils are a staple in math class. We learn some serious math in my advanced math classes and good pencils keeps my middle schoolers going.

Having amazing messages also helps keep my class motivated to learn as much as they can.

Our saying is, Train your brain. This is important because we are training their math brain. As the spring approaches, they will need a replacement pencil and be ready for state testing. This will be great for that time. These little things really help keep my classes motivated and loved at different times in the year. Pencils with motivational sayings has two purposes. One is to make kids feel positive about math and two, having a supply staple for everyday math work. The regular pencils and for paper are for our math supplies next school year. Thanks for checking out my project and have a great day!
