My Students
How many of you remember having to sit at your seat and work all day long at school when all you really wanted to do was stand up and stretch your legs? Kids go from running around outside and playing to sitting at a desk for up to six hours a day when they enter school.
In a public school setting, my students are a welcome mix of abilities, backgrounds, and family support at home.
With a 90% minority population and 40% speaking a second language at home, some of my students are still adapting their dialect to public speaking. They are eager students, always ready to present, and are willing to break out with given time. Flexible grouping allows them to communicate through different learning styles and personalities. With a positive effect, my students are engaged and enjoy working with one another.
My Project
Math automaticity is an essential element in the attitude and effort that students feel towards mathematics. When automaticity is achieved, the amount of time and effort it takes to calculate is decreased, and easier to achieve.
The Math Fluency Kit with Number Talks also helps enable my students to understand the concept behind the automaticity.
Rather than just memorizing number for the sake of memorizing, it will help enable them to understand the conceptual understanding behind them. By achieving this, concepts learned in future years will be better understood. The fluency kit will allow my students to maintain the positive outlook they have on math and increase their knowledge and understanding.
