As an educator, I am challenged with how to include practical, hands-on opportunities for students to engage in the problem-solving process. Knowing that developmentally, students learn best and retain more when they are provided with hands-on, real-life opportunities to explore and apply their learning, the canned curriculum used does not provide adequate practice in these manipulative endeavors. With these materials, it will help me to provide opportunities to consistently engage students in exploring and creating while utilizing higher-level skills. Materials to immerse students in the process across the curriculum are not easily accessible nor easily feasible with limited funding for materials in rural areas.
