Project Title: Make Math Fun
Category: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
Amount Requested: $1,045

Project Description:
Students learn in many different ways, and incorporating math manipulatives and a fun, interactive math program that individualizes instruction would greatly benefit their development as strong math thinkers. By using these tools, students will engage with mathematical concepts in a hands-on and interactive way, fostering collaboration and critical thinking.

Proposal:
This project will equip students with math manipulatives that allow them to visualize and approach math in a unique way, moving beyond traditional worksheets. Additionally, I am requesting funding for the "Happy Numbers" program, which tailors math lessons to the individual needs of each student. This program supports students who are struggling and those seeking enrichment. By combining interactive learning tools with individual-focused programs, students will have the opportunity to become confident and capable math thinkers.

Budget Breakdown:

Illustrative Math/Kendall Hunt Math Centers Kit (3rd Grade): $420
Happy Numbers Licenses (43 Elementary Students, K-5): $625
