Hillsborough Education Foundation School and Classroom Enrichment Grants
Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Hillsborough Education Foundation - $826.69
Our goal is to strengthen our students' math fact fluency in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. We want our students to be proficient in their math skills to increase their performance in the math classroom and on math assessments.
Learning Aids - Sunshine state book sets, robotics kits, puzzle boards, science models, engineering supplies, etc.
Increasing math fact fluency significantly benefits students by enhancing their problem-solving skills and boosting their confidence. When students quickly and accurately recall basic arithmetic facts, they can tackle more complex problems and focus on understanding higher-level concepts rather than struggling with basic calculations.
Additionally, strong math fact fluency lays a solid foundation for advanced math skills, supports better performance on assessments, and fosters a positive attitude toward math. Fluent recall of basic facts leads to quicker and more accurate problem-solving, which is crucial for timed tests and real-world applications.
This grant is connected to our IB curriculum as students become knowledgeable and use self-management skills, two traits of IB learners, to learn their math facts. Students will use their self-management skills as they work to learn their facts and become fluent. Learning their math facts will allow students the ability to become knowledgeable in more advanced math skills.
We expect that our students' math scores in 2nd - 5th grade (approximately 326 students) on the FAST, STAR, and i-Ready assessments will increase as they become proficient in their math fact fluency.
The grant would provide 75 sets of flash cards for each operation, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division at $9.89 per 4-pack of cards.
The math certificates would be presented to students at our awards ceremonies to acknowledge their achievement. (5 packs of 50 certificates for $14.99 per pack)
The math stickers would be used to reward students as they memorize their math facts. (Set of 1,080 stickers for $9.99)
