Ever wonder how to explain to your child why it is important to learn how to divide or why understanding place value is important? My students love to listen to stories that help them make connections to their lives, but we don't have many books that help make connections to real life and math.
My students are eager to learn and love to listen to stories read aloud to them.
They also love to read and enjoy stories that they can relate to. They enjoy math and solving problems. My students attend a school that is in a rural community, that does not receive a lot of funding due to state budget cuts and because it is not a Title I school.
My Project
With these books, my students will be introduced to math concepts in an engaging and entertaining way. They will learn how to apply the math they learn in the classroom to everyday activities and generate visuals that will help them solve problems. In addition to the math comprehension, the students will build fluency and listening skills through read aloud from the text. Making connections is also an important reading comprehension skill that many children lack, these books will help them learn to make connections to other text, self, and the world.
Your donation will help me build problem solvers.
These students will learn how to make connections through text and math to the world around them. The best inventors were critical thinkers and problem solvers that were able to visualize and connect to the world around them. Help me build the inventors of tomorrow.
