What exactly is 7? What does 3+5 really mean? How many ways can you make 8? What do the words more, less, and same really mean? These are just some of the questions my students need to internalize in preparation for just the basic Math concepts in the life ahead of them.
I teach student with autism in grades Second through Fourth.
We are in a self-contained school with students with autism ranging from Kindergarten to 22. We depend a lot on the use of visuals in the classroom to help the children be successful in their day. The students I serve have varying levels of skills and need.
My Project
If my students had unifix cubes with the counting stairs that go with them, they would be able to practice counting cubes from 1 to 10 during small group activities and during centers.
To ensure that EVERY child has the resources needed, we need to greatly increase our number of unifix cubes. Children will count, pattern, sort, measure, create sets, build an understating of adding and subtracting, discover numerous ways to create a given number.
By supporting this project, you will provide my young learners with developmentally appropriate materials that will help them build basic counting skills which are necessary for developing more challenging skills later in their learning.
