Hands-on manipulatives give children the ability to engage with and better understand the concepts within mathematics. According to Boggan, Harper, and Whitmire (2010), manipulatives can be used to teach problem-solving, communicating, reasoning, connections, and estimation (p. 3). When used correctly, manipulatives can benefit students’ understanding of these concepts by giving them something tangible to construct their thinking around. In a typical classroom, manipulatives are shared among students. To ensure the safety of students while exploring mathematical concepts through manipulatives during this pandemic, I would appreciate your help in providing every student with their own individual math take-home kit. Not only will this reduce the amount of shared supplies, but we can ensure every second grader has helpful hands-on tools to use at home. Students will also be given greater responsibility with their math kit, a great way to teach accountability to young children. Every student will get unifix cubes, which build a sense of quantity; red and yellow counting chips, which allow students to manipulate numbers when adding and subtracting; mini 10 frames, which will help students build fluency within 10; place value cards, which give students a way to organize place value; base 10 blocks, which build students’ understanding of our decade number system; and dice for math games.
