Magnetic Manipulatives

Help me give my students manipulative items for interactive activities and fun engagement.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Focht's classroom raised $258

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are elementary-aged students who receive special education services.

These magnetic manipulative materials will make learning more engaging and fun for them and provide interactive learning opportunities.

My students love to be up and out of their seats, working at the board, competing against one another. These activities motivate them to learn and help them to retain information. The place value materials will allow for hands-on interactive practice on adding and subtracting skills. The calendar resource will help students write the correct date on their work. The bookshelves will help organize materials and display books or anchor charts.
