My Project

My group of young learners needs hands-on materials to help them learn and practice skills in number sense, categorizing and data collection in a fun and developmentally appropriate way. My students need highly engaging and highly durable materials to support their academic goals as well as their behavioral and sensory needs.

These materials will be used for hands-on lessons, game play and independent work to support math learning.

We will also be purchasing digital lessons and games to incorporate technology and fun! This increased engagement will really boost their math skills.
