Mad Dash to Math Mastery

The Description

When my students come to me with math skills that are 2 to 4 years behind grade level, there is no time to lose!

I need to quickly find their strengths and weaknesses and get to work on a two-pronged attack: remediate to close the skill gap as quickly as possible while supporting them in learning and excelling with grade-level skills.  It's no easy feat!  

Moby Tablets will allow me to quickly and accurately identify what skills my students are missing, as well as create a tailor-made program for each student to bring them up to speed.

With these funds I will purchase 4 Moby Tablets for my learning disabled students to use for instruction and practice during our small group break-out sessions.  In our class, students travel through rotations.  At the Teacher station, they work through a lesson with me; at the Teams station, they work on deepening their problem solving and communication skills with peers; and at Tech, they use educational software for instruction and practice.  I would like to use the Moby Tablets at the Tech station.  Currently, we only have the use of two netbooks, so only two students can be at the Tech station at a time.

Why Moby Tablets?

  • They work seamlessly with MobyMax, an educational program we already use together
  • They come stocked with Sync & Lock, a feature that allows me to ensure that my students are on-task and safe when using the tablets
  • They are affordable! At $69 per tablet (plus shipping) these tablets are a steal!
  • Working with technology keeps my students engaged and excited about practicing new skills and making progress in math.
  • Our school has an environmental mission, so providing students with a paperless practice option fits with our commitment to be good stewards of the environment.

We can't wait to start using our Moby Tablets.  Thank you for your support!

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase fewer Moby Tablets.

About the Creator

Welcome to Ms. T's class! I am a middle school math special education teacher. Doesn't that sound fun?! Actually, I love what I do. Middle school math is hard, and middle schoolers can be challenging, but they're also amazing! I struggled with math as a kid, and it wasn't until later in life that math started to make sense to me. I'm committed to setting off those lightbulbs earlier for my kids so that they can be successful in school and in life. Thanks for stopping by!
