Help me give my students math manipulatives, games, and conversation starters. These materials will help create math centers that will reinforce the day's lesson and reach all learners!

My Students
What can I say about my school? Students at my school are highly motivated, inquisitive, inspirational, hardworking, and dedicated. I have been left in awe by their ability to make real-world connections with math problems and engage in meaningful math conversations. Every single year, I consider myself lucky to be such a small part of their academic journeys.
As mathematicians, my students rely heavily on fun and exciting activities that are engaging and promote higher-order critical thinking skills.
I teach a diverse group of students with a variety of different learning styles. Math game centers, puzzles, and manipulatives are essential to challenge and bridge the gap for my hands-on, visual learners.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my project. I am dedicated to ensuring that my students show growth in their understanding of mathematical concepts while also having fun along the way (and making them laugh with my jokes which have been described as "cringe-worthy"). Thank you for your support!
My Project
These materials will be extremely helpful during independent/group work as well as during my guided small group instruction. I find that creating math centers has proven to be extremely effective during follow-up activities. After my guided instruction, students have the opportunity to really practice what they learned and test their mastery of the skill. Having math centers in my classroom will give students the choice to complete a particular task and engage in math discourse and discussion. These materials will also be used in conducting a hands-on approach to my small group instruction as well.
