The Description

This year I want to take my math class to the next level with Mathalicious. It’s no secret that a lot of students hate math. To them, math is just a bunch of random skills to memorize and regurgitate, and they see math class as totally disconnected from their lives. When students see no reason to learn, they don’t.

That’s why through Mathalicious my students will explore the math behind real-world topics,from sports to shopping to the odds of finding life on other planets. These lessons allow me and my students in a position to have interesting conversations that foster a classroom culture of curiosity and rigorous mathematical thinking.

This is where you come in! Your generous donation will get me one step closer to being able to provide these amazing features to my students.

Back Up Plan

I will have to purchase the subscription to Mathalicious out of my own pocket.

I have used a few lessons from Mathalicious and I love how my students were applying the math we learned in class to real world applications.  Mathalicious provides the perfect format for students to collaborate with others, practice reasoning and justifying their ideas.  These are skills that will definitely benefit them in their futures.

Please help me provide my students with these rigorous and engaging lessons.  We are ready to learn  and just need a little help from you.
