My Project

Math manipulatives will allow students to understand and visualize what they are learning. The coordinate system whiteboards will allow my algebra students an easy way to graph equations and visualize their mastery of slope-intercept form. Algebra tiles will help make abstract concepts, like solving for "x", more concrete. Having a class set of algebra tiles will make solving equations, combining like terms, or factoring polynomials a visual process. My students will use the algebra tiles in work stations activities each week. They will help my students visualize simplifying expressions, factoring, using substitution and elimination, understand the distributive property, integer rules, and engage in operations with polynomials.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work when they have the proper tools that will help them with their problem-solving skills.

The stress balls seem to help many of my students stay focused and are noticeably less disruptive when they have something in their hands to use as a fidget.
