Making Math Make Sense

Help me give my students the joy of math. Help my students by gifting math manipulatives. This helps students gain fundamental math concepts. Connecting numbers to real life objects.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Higgs's classroom raised $283

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are some of the strongest and most resilient people you will meet. They take what life gives them and run with it. Most of them are learning in a language they do not understand. They have huge personalities . They are learning how to be productive members of the world.

My Project

Students will use these math manipulatives to grasp basic concepts in math. They will use them to learn that numbers on a paper can be represented by concrete things. They will learn how to use blocks and clocks first before learning how to do it on paper.

They will learn that math is not something to fear or hate but that it can make sense.

That everything they learn has a purpose and a reason. It will help them build connections to what they know and what they are learning for years to come.
