My Project

Studies have shown that students have multiple modalities of learning and leaning styles. Hands-on learning supports kinesthetic learners, who learn from examples. Hands-on learning is another term for experiential learning, where students immerse themselves in a subject to learn. These magnetic pattern building blocks provide an avenue for my students to learn through play.

My students will be actively engaged in the process of learning mathematics through the implementation of hands-on learning with these magnetic pattern building blocks.

Math mantipulatives increase student engagement and provide an access point to abstract concepts by serving as a concrete model of the math concept. My students to love to learning!
