Hands-on learning is essential to teen learning especially when their minds are not on math. I have been learning that by utilizing hands-on learning these teens are more likely to understand concepts and enhance their skills to master their potential to learn the math material needed to pass the class. Since I am teaching dual language Algebra 2 class, the language barrier can be quite difficult therefore through games and hands-on learning the kids can communicate without knowing English but understanding the math concepts. These materials will benefit them tremendously. I plan on supplying each student with a mechanical pencil since most have never had one and can see the benefit of having one to concentrate on the math problem instead of having the lead break and they have to stop to look for a sharpener and use that as an excuse why they didn't work on it or simply couldn't afford any pencils. These teens really need every tool needed to enhance their critical thinking so they can be prepared for not only the next level of math. We use algebra every day in our lives but we just don't realize it. Plus some of the highest paying jobs require math. Using the games I am asking for and supplies can really help them with the many projects I have planned for them. So please help me help them.
