My students need math materials, hands-on math centers, shape sorting center, and pattern blocks design cards, to enhance and create the math area of the classroom.
My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. The classroom is very economically and ethnically diverse. Many of my students have very limited schooling in their own language and are now thrusted into a formal school setting. We help students learn English while holding on and becoming literate in their own language as well. They all have great potential but need the tools to make them successful.
The children love to move, create and learn!
As their teacher, I focus on their strengths and we will build on those to help strengthen any weaknesses. It is my job as the teacher to provide the students with the tools and knowledge they will need to succeed.
My Project
We need a variety of learning materials for our math area in the classroom. The children need these materials to learn counting, measurement, graphing and many more math skills. The car people will be used to improve counting materials. The math kits will help the children develop math skills in all areas. The children play in different areas for a minimum of one hour per day. During this time the children choose to visit an area of their choice. There are materials available in the areas that are defined for specific learning areas.
Hands-on math materials are a crucial component of early childhood development.
Through play the children will practice counting, measurement, identifying shapes and colors and many more skills. These materials will help us build and update the current math area in our classroom. Overall these materials will allow the children to have a tactile experience in the classroom.
