My Project

The students I work with come from various backgrounds and have a range of abilities. While some grasp math concepts quickly, others require additional support. For these students, they do not have a strong foundation in number sense which makes it challenging to understand abstract concepts.

Incorporating math manipulatives and mentor texts into my math lessons will promote student engagement and get them excited about math.

Manipulatives such as pattern block shapes, geo boards, dice, and dominos will help students practice counting, subitizing, identifying shapes, and number recognition. It will give my students the visual and hands-on opportunities they need to go from concrete to abstract. It will also deepen their understanding of numbers and foster critical thinking and problem solving skills.

I have seen how excited my students get when they have opportunities to participate in math games and hands-on activities. These resources will allow me to provide my students with that continued excitement and engagement in their learning.

Mrs. Kimoto will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by September 5.
