My Project

Items such as game pieces, whiteboard materials, dry erase folders, and number lines are highly effective tools for centers in an elementary classroom because they promote hands-on, interactive learning.

Whiteboard materials encourage children to write, erase and try again, encouraging active participation and immediate feedback during writing or math activities.

Learning games that require game pieces makes learning fun and engaging, while also developing skills in number recognition, probability and decision making.

Number lines support foundational math concepts such as addition, subtraction, skip counting, and understanding place value.

Together, these tools foster independent learning, collaboration and differentiated instruction, allowing students to engage with content in a meaningful way.
