My Students
I've always loved math. The way my math teachers explained new concepts and introduced new ideas made me realize that math is fun! Today, I try to get my students to come to that same realization. Math is great! And it's nothing to be afraid of.
I am constantly coming up with ways to make my kids see just how fun and easy math really is.
Every beginning of the school year, I get students who come in saying they hate math or that it's their least favorite subject. But just a couple weeks into the year, their perceptions change. Fun stations, engaging activities, and plenty of opportunities to work with their peers all contribute to their increased love of math.
My hope is that I can continue to find new and exciting ways to make learning fun for my kids.
My Project
We use dry-erase markers a lot in math class. My kids are constantly working out problems on their whiteboards. It keeps them engaged, it allows them to change their work easily when they've made a mistake, and, most importantly, they just love using them.
I'm amazed at how many dry-erase markers we've gone through this school year!
They take good care of them, they don't leave the caps off, and we have a system to check that they're all accounted for by the end of class. It's just that, since we use them so much, we're constantly running out!
Our resources are so scarce that they will keep using them until they get as much out of them as they can. They know I can't just reach into a box and pull out a new one every time one starts running out. I wish I could just say, "Here's a new one for you!" Please help me be able to do that! I believe these markers will last us the rest of the school year. I know they will be very excited when we finally get rid of those old, dried-out markers and replace them with these shiny new ones. Thanks for helping me keep math fun for my kiddos!
