My Project

Math anxiety is a common issue among students that can hinder their learning and performance in mathematics. Research has shown that providing tools to help students manage their stress and anxiety can have a positive impact on their academic success. One such tool that has been found to be effective is stress balls. Stress balls provide a sensory outlet for students to release tension and anxiety, ultimately promoting a more relaxed and focused learning environment.

My students would like to "purchase" squishy stress balls using their classroom cash.

By supporting this grant proposal, you will be contributing to the well-being and academic success of students experiencing math anxiety. The implementation of stress balls as a simple yet effective tool can make a significant difference in the lives of these students, helping them build confidence and achieve their full potential in mathematics.
