I am a special education teacher at a low socioeconomic school. I work with students who require individualized and specialized instruction in a small group setting in math to access the general curriculum.
My students have a strong desire to be successful and are determined to do hard things.
In addition, my students are concrete learners and enjoy using manipulatives and performing hands on activities. My students learn best when they are actively engaged in discovery during the learning process.
My Project
My students struggle with mathematics. Having hands-on materials and activities to teach math skills will make learning exciting for my students. These materials will make a difference for increasing student participation in math. These games will help my students use numbers to make sense of problems and deepen their understanding of math.
Through play, my students will learn mathematics practices and standards involving, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
My students will become more confident in their math solving strategies that I strongly believe will be transferred to their general education setting.
