My students will have the opportunity to understand better the basics of math such as addition, subtraction, time, calendar, and place value. Topics like subtraction can be so difficult for five year olds to understand. As teachers, we throw out words like subtract, minus, less than and expect our little friends to wrap their heads around it. But when you put math manipulatives in their hands, something magical happens that allows them to break down the impossible and truly understand the subject in a real, concrete way. My students will be able to use the hands-on materials like the Calendar Math Activity Center, Counting Match Ups, and Number Line Activity Chart in small group stations to become strong and confident mini mathematicians. The Leveled Library Mobile Cart will create an entire literacy center for my young students and allow them to have reading materials at their level within their reach! Giving young, low-income students access to math manipulatives is an investment in their future. Having these resources in my classroom would help bridge the gap that so many of my students face due to lack of resources. They would make a huge difference to my students.
