Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

97% of my students are impoverished. Life is not easy for these 4th-graders. Outside of school, they face problems and situations that no child should ever have to. The things they deal with daily are unimaginable and heartbreaking.

They are such precious and innocent children.

Growing up this way has also made them strong-willed and strong-minded! My mission is to educate these wills and minds in such a way that they are equipped with anything and everything they need to have bright futures.

My Project

When students manipulate objects, they are taking the necessary first steps toward building understanding and internalizing math processes and procedures. For example, when comparing fractions, the use of fraction circles helps students visually compare fractions and understand equivalency. Having visual aids such as math concept and strategy posters as references further enhance understanding and instill information learned on a concrete level. When teaching about time, geared clocks allow the student to manipulate his own, which also enhances learning and understanding.

The use of manipulatives and visual aids help students hone their mathematical thinking skills.

Having these resources available significantly increases levels of mastering crucial math skills. Thank you for contributing to my students’ success!
