My Students

I am a proud teacher of diverse learners in NYC's ASD NEST program. My students are special in so many ways---where do I begin?

My students light up when they are learning about a topic that they really connect with and even more so when a project impacts their lives.

Located in the diverse neighborhood of the East Village in NYC, my classroom is a true melting pot of cultures and abilities. Some of my students are advanced thinkers and self-starters while others are learning to engage with schoolwork as well as their peers. Each student finds great joy and pride in learning new topics, but their methods and strategies can vary greatly.

As their teacher, my goal is to provide a learning environment where my students are engaged with inspiring projects and vibrant discussions.

My Project

Place value and basic number skills are important math concepts for early elementary students to understand. They have to learn that the value of a digit depends on its place in a number. For example, students should understand that in the number 12, the digit 1 has a value of 1 ten and the digit 2 has a value of 2 ones. When students struggle to understand place value, it can hold them back in understanding more advanced math concepts.

One way to help students understand place value is to use manipulatives and concrete visuals to show the value of each digit.

With this strategy, you use manipulatives to explicitly teach students how to compose a number. The materials in this project will be used daily to reinforce number concepts, counting patterns, composing and decomposing numbers, and place value. Using these tools, students can explore and compute using physical materials. This helps students make the connection between numbers and place values.
