My Project

This project will help create a math-centric space for my students. The pencil sharpener is essential to keep their pencils sharp and ready for problem solving. The dry erasers and cleaner will allow my students to show their learning while at the carpet or in small groups and keep things clean. The privacy folders will keep students focused on tasks during independent work and during testing. The Velcro Tape will be useful for creating defined rows on the carpet, ensuring students have designated spaces and promoting organization during group activities and discussions. The magnetic strips will provide sentence starters for my mathematicians to explain their thinking.

With these supplies, my mathematicians will have the tools they need to excel in their learning journey!

Ms. Gardner
Grades 3-5
