My Project

I am requesting materials to use in my Kindergarten math class. The unifix cubes will be used for students to count and group quantities while solving word problems.

Students will work individually and in groups using the cubes in their boxes to solve real world word problems, a skill that students at all levels struggle with!

My hope with starting this critical thinking practice young is that they will take what they have learned and build upon it year after year! The word problems we do together will start off with addition and subtraction, and without even knowing it, students will start using multiplication and division strategies as Kindergarteners!
