We Need Some Focus in Math

Help me give my students these Math in Focus Books for their own individual instruction.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. S's classroom raised $178

My Students

My students are a great group of kids. They are 9th graders with Autism and other developmental disabilities or special learning needs. They need more than a teacher who tells them what to do; they need an adult who will listen to them and work with them on their individual needs.

In the words of Temple Grandin, "Kids have to be exposed to different things in order to develop.

A child’s not going to find out he likes to play a musical instrument if you never exposed him to it."

My classroom assistant and I create a positive and interactive learning environment where our kids know that they are welcome, they are loved, they are appreciated, they are safe and they can succeed.

My Project

Please help us get some focus in math by using these Math in Focus books. Because of their disabilities, my students vary greatly in their math levels.

Having a book for several grade levels, using the same curriculum, will help to provide individualized math instruction.

My students are hard-working kids who deserve the best instruction that I can give them. Having this set of books will help me to do just that. Math is hard for most students with Autism. But by instructing the students on their own instructional level, math can be fun.
