Goal(s)

The purpose of this project is to provide each math teacher at Eden Park Elementary with a Bluetooth thermal label printer and compatible MUNBYN 4"x6" direct thermal labels to efficiently print premade guided notes, worked examples, and other instructional supports directly for students.
Currently, preparing and distributing these resources can take significant time away from instruction, especially when teachers must rely on centralized printing or require students to cut and paste materials into their interactive notebooks. This process can be time-consuming, distracting, and result in uneven quality of student materials. With their own dedicated printer, each teacher can instantly produce ready-to-use guided notes that adhere directly into student notebooks eliminating the need for cutting and pasting so students can focus on learning rather than assembling materials. This ensures equitable access to clear, organized resources that support comprehension and engagement.
This project directly supports our learning goal of increasing student success in mathematics by ensuring all students have access to well structured guided notes and problem solving aids during lessons. Research shows that guided notes help students focus on key concepts, organize information, and actively engage with content. By removing barriers such as time lost to cutting and pasting, we can promote stronger conceptual understanding, improve note taking efficiency, and maximize instructional time. Ultimately, this project aims to increase student achievement in math as reflected in classroom performance, progress monitoring data, and state assessments.

Project Description

This project will provide each math teacher at Eden Park Elementary with a Bluetooth thermal label printer and a supply of MUNBYN 4"x6" direct thermal labels, enabling the creation of high-quality, ready-to-use guided notes, worked examples, step-by-step problem-solving templates, and visual math supports directly in the classroom.
The process will work as follows:
1. Preparation of Standards Aligned Content – Teachers will design guided notes, math practice problems, graphic organizers, and key vocabulary reference sheets that align with current grade level Florida math standards and district pacing guides.
2. On Demand Printing – Using the Bluetooth printers, teachers will be able to print resources instantly, whether during lesson preparation or in real time as a reteach or extension activity is needed. This eliminates the delay of waiting for centralized printing or manually handwriting materials.
3. Seamless Student Use – The printed resources will be sized perfectly for student interactive notebooks, allowing them to be placed directly on notebook pages without the need for cutting or pasting. This ensures consistent formatting, a cleaner layout, and more efficient note taking during instruction.
4. Ongoing Integration into Instruction – These printed supports will be used daily for whole-group lessons, small-group intervention, and enrichment activities, as well as for differentiated scaffolds tailored to individual student needs.
By integrating these printers into daily instruction, our math team will create a consistent, organized, and student-friendly system for delivering learning supports that maximize instructional time and increase student engagement.
Eden Park Elementary is a Title I school that serves a diverse student population in Immokalee, where many students benefit from structured, visual, and scaffolded learning materials to build confidence and mastery in mathematics. Currently, preparing these materials can be time consuming, and students often lose valuable learning time cutting and pasting handouts into notebooks or working from incomplete or inconsistent copies.
By providing each math teacher with their own Bluetooth thermal printer and label supply, this project will:
• Maximize Instructional Time – Students will receive ready to use guided notes instantly, allowing teachers to spend more time on concept development, problem-solving, and student discussion.
• Increase Equity of Access Every student will have clean, legible, and uniform resources, ensuring that all learners, regardless of handwriting ability or home support, have the same quality tools for learning.
• Enhance Organization and Retention Consistent formatting of guided notes will help students organize their learning and refer back to accurate examples when studying or completing homework.
• Support Differentiation Teachers will be able to print targeted supports for small groups or individual students during class, providing immediate intervention or enrichment without interrupting the flow of instruction.
This project will not only address a logistical challenge in our classrooms but also directly contribute to improved math achievement by giving students better access to well structured, visually clear learning materials every day.
 

 

Expected Outcomes

Because of this project, students will experience more efficient, organized, and engaging access to math content. With ready-to-use guided notes and problem-solving aids printed directly in the classroom, students will spend less time on logistical tasks (such as cutting and pasting) and more time actively engaging with the lesson.
Building on the math team’s recent success where a laser focus on instructional delivery, student interaction with content, and targeted learning strategies resulted in double digit gains in test scores this project will serve as an additional instructional tool to further accelerate achievement. Students will benefit from:
• Increased time on task and active participation during lessons.
• Consistent, high-quality learning supports in their interactive notebooks.
• Improved comprehension and retention due to organized, standards aligned resources.
• Greater confidence in their ability to follow complex math processes and problem-solving steps.
We will measure the success of this project using both quantitative and qualitative data:
• Progress Monitoring Data – Compare i-Ready and district progress monitoring scores from before and after implementation to track growth in targeted math skills.
• State Assessment Results – Analyze end of year Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) scores to determine gains in proficiency.
• Classroom Assessment Performance – Monitor student mastery on formative and summative assessments within each math unit.
• Engagement Observations – Track changes in student participation, time on task, and the quality of student work samples before and after the implementation of printed guided notes. 

 

Purpose of Funding

Grant funds will be used to purchase 10 Bluetooth thermal label printers and 10 rolls of MUNBYN 4"x6" direct thermal labels (1,000 labels per roll), providing one printer and one label roll for each 4th & 5th grade math teacher at Eden Park Elementary.
These printers will allow teachers to create stickable guided notes, worked examples, anchor charts, and math reference materials that can be placed directly into student interactive notebooks without the need for cutting or pasting. This will ensure that from the very first day of implementation, students have immediate access to organized, ready to use learning supports that maximize instructional time and support math achievement.
