Manipulatives Make Learning Fun!

Help me give my students the tools they need to be successful in math. With so many different learning needs and only having the resources to do online or pen/paper work, lots of students still struggle to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Dugger's classroom raised $390

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

All of my students are unique in their own way. They come from a variety of backgrounds and home lives, but they all come with a will to learn. They are caring and kind and ALWAYS make sure I'm having a good day, even if they are not. They are always prepared to work hard and are constantly setting new goals for themselves to get better.

My Project

Math manipulatives offer a way to speed up the learning process. They can be used simultaneously while teaching a lesson the traditional pencil and paper way. Since most of my students are SEVERAL grade levels behind in math, playing catch-up has become the norm in my classroom. I am having to re-teach the basics that are expected to be known already, which takes away from the little time I already have to teach all of the curriculum tested on the STAAR test. These manipulatives will not only allow my students to learn at a faster pace, but they also make math more interesting than just simple pencil and paper or google classroom assignments.
