My Project

We are located in a very special rural area on the Big Island. One of our biggest struggles in having enough tools to keep our students engaged, energized and connected to our lesson. The items in this project will help my students understand math and allow it to become an essential subject in their everyday lifestyle. This fundamental skills will connect them to their day-to-say lives and I hope they can thrive in the fun area of math which we use in all areas of life.

The white boards and dry erase markers will allow my students to interact with fun math games so they can master and improve their math skills.

As a trained teacher, my plan is to keep my students engagement by building their confidence and improving their math skills.

The materials are needed so my students can get more practice time brushing up on previous concepts and then building on a more denser aspect of the same mathematical concept. I hope you can help me with purchasing some of these needed materials/tools so my class will be filled with engaged students ready to have fun and learn.
