My Students
The use of manipulatives in teaching has a solid research history. Manipulatives are concrete objects that can be physically handled by students in order to demonstrate or model abstract concepts. Using our hands as a tool for learning is so much more effective than just pencil and paper.
I have a class of diverse learners with diverse needs.
Each student learns with a different learning style.
These manipulatives will allow me to meet the needs of all my students regardless of their learning style. Most importantly, these manipulatives have the advantage of engaging students and increasing both interest in and enjoyment of learning.
My Project
My students will use the manipulatives to supplement and enrich their lessons. After I teach a lesson, the students will work independently to complete their assignments. Those students who require more help or require more challenge will come work with me in a small group while the rest of the students use the manipulatives to enrich what they have just learned. Some of the manipulatives include Magna Tiles, Playstixs, Counting links, Alphabet locks, and Alphabet Letter tubs.
With the integration of these manipulatives into our daily lessons, my students learning will be enriched as well as fun and engaging.
The students will have a hands-on approach to learning which will provide students with powerful learning in TK/Kindergarten.
