Manipulatives Make Math Fun!

My students need math counters to aid in their developing math skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fuller's classroom raised $284

My Students

I have the pleasure of working with a diverse group of 5-6 year old's. My students are kind and compassionate little sponges. They love to learn and do so best, in an environment that is warm and inviting.

Similar to adults, the young minds are at their peak when given a challenge.

Therefore, my task each day is to pour knowledge into my little sponges, challenge them, and prepare them for bright futures. The key to this is to make our classroom as fun, exciting, and engaging as possible.

My Project

Manipulatives are a huge necessity in the classroom. This is especially true in primary grades. The use of counters become a part of our daily routine. Manipulatives can be used throughout the entire year, from the fundamentals of math such as counting and one-to-one correspondence, to more complex math skills, such as adding and subtracting. Having those tangible items make the concept of counting more engaging for students. Remembering the name of a number and what it looks like may be easy for students, being able to hold that number of items in their hands gives the number meaning.

By donating to our project not only will you be helping to build a solid foundation for math, with counting skills, but possibly eliminating some of the struggles faced in more complex math skills, such as adding and subtracting.
