Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 45

My students have EXCELLED using IXL this year.  Each math unit they were given a list of skills to practice to help them master that topic.  Once they completed a skill, they got to spin the wheel or take a shot in the basketball hoop for a chance to win a prize.   If they finished the entire unit, they were able to earn a golden ticket on our chart and students who earn a golden ticket for EVERY unit in the year will get to celebrate with a special teacher lunch at the end of the year.  You can see all of the colored half sheets of paper that shows all of the units that students have completed!  On my teacher IXL dashboard, you can see that my students have spent over 800 hours combined practicing their math, they have mastered almost 3,000 skills and answered over 122,000 questions!  This shows how much my kids enjoyed getting this extra math practice every single day and how they have become better students because of IXL!  I am beyond appreciative of having this funded for my class and my students have benefited in countless ways because of it!!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

My goal is to be able to fund using the IXL program for my students. They are able to practice math skills in a fun and engaging way, receiving immediate feedback for each problem and allows for differentiation within the classroom. 

 

Category

Learning Aids - Sunshine state book sets, robotics kits, puzzle boards, science models, engineering supplies, etc. 

 

What will be done with my students

My students will have access to thousands of math skill of all grade levels that they are able to practice on their computers daily at school or at home throughout the entire school year. I am able to assign specific skills that align to our Florida standards that are currently being taught in math and can either choose to have all students working on the same problem at once so I can get real time feedback on if they are understanding, or students are also able to work at their own pace on their own individual problems. They are told immediately within the program if they got the question correct or not and an explanation on how to do it correctly. I also have this integrated within my "celebration station" so when students master a skill, they are able to spin our wheel or shoot a basket. This gets students excited to perform well on these tasks and love to cheer each other on.  

 

Benefits to my students

Students receive immediate feedback on if they got a math question correct or not and can use that to learn from. I am able to also be specific in what skills I assign based on each student's needs. I am able to have students who struggle to practice foundational skills and those who excel to push beyond just the basics. Students can also access all of the math resources at home, so parents love to be able to encourage the practice at home without feeling overwhelmed about finding their own resources. 

 

Budget Narrative

The $599 covers up to 50 students who have access to all IXL math resources for up to a full year, which means they are able to access math practice through all breaks until the beginning of the following school year.
