Help me give my students a collaborative experience exploring ramps and pathways with blocks. I'd like to create a fun and inviting center where students are encouraged to explore the materials in the block center.
I'd like these materials to help build a block center where students can explore how the world around them works.
Ramp play supports the development of both fine and gross motor skills as children build, roll, and push.
These movements also provide hands-on experience with force, motion, gravity, and friction. This supports learning around topics such as physics, engineering, and math. Ramps and balls promote engineering, math, creativity, and social relationships. It gives students the chance to think, create, fail, and try again. I'd like to give my students this opportunity with these materials.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
