Help me give my students a variety of math manipulatives to teach the standards.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lopez Rafael's classroom raised $694

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I teach 2nd grade students who are eager to learn and grow each day. Math can be a tough subject for many students, but with the right tools, it can become an exciting and empowering experience. That’s why I’m requesting a variety of math manipulatives to help my students understand key concepts in a fun, hands-on way.

With your support, our classroom will receive:

Flashcards to build math fluency and confidence

Learning clocks to practice telling time

Play money for financial literacy and real-world math skills

Timelines to help with sequencing and understanding elapsed time

Additional visual and tactile tools to support learning through multiple senses
