My Project

My young students are just beginning to develop an understanding of math concepts. They are naturally excited about the variety of math learning that happens throughout the day - during routines, transitions, stories, songs and play. My project involves adding classroom materials that will encourage children to explore math concepts in a variety of creative ways. Working with materials such as manipulatives, puzzles and art media will support my students emerging math skills and help them get excited about mathematical learning.

These math materials will help lay the foundation for students' future success in math.

The products I have selected will offer children a range of materials that will promote an understanding of early math skills in a fun, hands-on, developmentally appropriate way.
