Giving my students access to effective math manipulatives is essential in building a strong mathematical foundation. In third grade students are expected to solve mathematical problems in three ways: models, writing and algorithms. The magnetic white boards will give them an opportunity to problem solve with peers and try multiple methods to solving problems effectively. Magnetic place value blocks will be an extremely valuable tool in collaborative learning and lay the foundation in verbalizing their rationale and their thinking about math. It will allow them to show and justify their thinking about math for a variety of 3rd grade mathematical standards. They are expected to use base ten models to justify place in rounding, addition and subtracting. The magnetic base ten blocks can be used to lay foundational understanding in multiplication and division as well and will be a valuable part of mathematical instruction throughout the year. At the end of the year, our students will use the magnetic base ten blocks to show a conceptual understanding of division and multiplication with area models. In addition to magnetic boards and base ten blocks, I requested storage for these essential materials in the form of seat pockets. This will make it so these supplies will impact 3rd graders for years to come!
