My Project

My student population is diverse in their background, language, experience, and socio-economic status. Many students need exposure to apply their learning in creative ways. My goal is for students to apply their learning of math concepts and skills through the use of hands-on centers in small groups!

Young learners learn best through hands-on learning.

The complete set of the Math Instant Learning Centers are comprehensive of the math concepts and skills students need in 1st grade. These fun centers will help me reach my goal. Our school is a Title School and we rely on opportunities to help our students learn in engaging ways.
