My students need one set of soft dice, one set of cubes, one set of dominoes, a classroom set of clocks, a elapsed time clock, graphing game and activities, pattern blocks and an activity book, as well as a teacher resources book that go along with the manipulative.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Geraci's classroom raised $383
This project is fully funded
I am a third grade teacher in an Urban charter school. Most of our students are considered as "Title One". Our school is based upon the head start model of instruction where most of the instruction is to be child centered and hands on. Our schools budget is very small so I need all the help I can get in order for my students to be successful.
Teaching time, probability, and coordinate grids are always challenging for all the third grade students. In order for the students to learn, the hands-on manipulative's are essential to make it easier for them to learn and understand these difficult concepts. Using math manipulatives with the curriculum is so beneficial. It allows all the students to be successful learners.
This is why I am asking for help. My students will benefit so much from using the soft dice when teaching probability, a class set of clocks, and an elapsed time clock when teaching time, the domino set and set of pattern blocks when teaching patters, the graphing game when teaching coordinate grids and all the other hands-on math manipulative's during other math lessons and in centers. Most of the students are hands-on learners. They need to see it, then do it.
Your donation will help empower my students and provide them with supplies they will need in order to be successful learners. Teaching time, probability, and coordinate grids are always challenging for all the third grade students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
