My Students
These materials are for a wonderful group of 3rd graders who are excited about learning! My favorite part of teaching is helping my students develop a love for learning! Our school is amazing, and it is a very warm and inviting place. We have a wonderful community of teachers, parents, and students working hard every day to help everyone succeed.
My school has a very diverse population of students and families.
We are located in what some call a bedroom community, because parents work farther from home. Some of our students are low income, English Language Learners, come from single-parent homes, or are living with other guardians. It can be challenging meeting the needs of the varying abilities and backgrounds of the students, but it is something I enjoy doing. I am looking to instill a love for learning in my students.
My Project
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. - Confucious Having math tools and manipulatives gives students the opportunity to be more hands on with math. Many students struggle when just using paper and pencil. Giving them a chance to physically interact with tools, helps them better grasp the math concepts. Math tools help students create their own models to solve math problems. We are using a new curriculum that provides more opportunity to use items like scales to measure weight. Having the ability to use the scales, helps students better grasp ideas such as the metric weight system. Using stopwatches allows students to measure time and watch first hand how long it takes their partner to complete a task. My goal is to develop a better understanding of math subjects and a love for learning.
“[I]n order to develop every student’s mathematical proficiency, leaders and teachers must systematically integrate the use of concrete and virtual manipulatives into classroom instruction at all grade levels.”NCSM, 2013
