Every teacher in my building (and, I suspect, on the planet) has witnessed firsthand the toll that abrupt quarantine and isolation periods, inconsistent teaching due to the substitute shortage, fear of illness, and illness itself have taken on our kids' ability and desire to concentrate. COVID has turned up the amp on widespread attention disorders in my classroom and others like it, and it has raised the bar for planning effective, engaging math activities. With your donation of two sets of Magna-Tiles, I'm excited to give my students the opportunity to learn how to present ratios, determine percentages, translate shapes on a grid, and calculate the surface area of 2D shapes and the volume of 3D shapes through play. I've also requested a class set of transparencies that visually represent the multiplication of fractions, a skill that constantly requires review. The remaining materials on my wish list are curated with the goal in mind of keeping students focused when performing less objectively engaging (but still necessary) tasks like worksheets or summative assessments. In class, my kids have the option to complete almost every assignment online, on paper, or on a whiteboard; but in part because their only option in quarantine is to use the computer, most of them prefer the freedom of paper or whiteboards. Accordingly, I go through quite a few reams of copy paper and dry-erase markers. As for fidgets, they're of course helpful in containing behaviors that can distract others from their own work. Thank you for your consideration!
