My Project

My students are constantly asking me "why" they have to learn this. I am wanting them to use the concepts we do in math in "real-world problems" so they can see why math is so important. My students do not have many resources at homes such as books and educational items. I like how they can take these home and share them with the family. Not only will they understand how they will use math but they will be able to keep the magazine at home. I am super excited to be able to add a unique and different learning tool.
