The algebra tiles are the biggest need on my list. Last year, due to the hybrid model and not having anything really to go about it, my students struggled on the concept of one and two step equations and balancing them out. Having those manipulatives will be HUGE in getting them to understand since they will have tiles they could move around on their own. The graph pegs will be nice to for the students to create their own polygons to solve for the area of the figure. With those graphing pegs, they will be able to create their own sized polygon, work out the area/perimeter of the polygon, and then come up and present to the class on the board their work. With everyone having that visual representation it will help immensely. The final big item on here that is not school supplies (I get zero funding for those....none), is the math games. My students struggle in basic facts and having those basic facts turned into a game for them to play, since kids love games, it will incentivize learning while also helping them build up the background that they are desperately lacking.
