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.
Here is the breakdown in cost for fundraising for Mathalicious

Back Up Plan
If I do not meet my goal, I still plan to purchase Mathalicious for my students so they can have engaging, rigorous tasks that require them to think critically about real-world problems.
About the Creator
Most of my students will be the first in their family to go to college.They inspire me with their perseverance every day. Despite the challenges they face, they come to school to make a better future for themselves. When they are offered opportunity, they thrive. Last Spring, several eighth graders were selected to be part of an after school program with Google. Their final projects were outstanding, and they were all invited back to continue their learning in a summer program. I want to provide opportunities like this and meaningful learning experiences for ALL my students.
