Help me give my students math manipulatives to use to build on concepts while virtually learning.

Celebrating 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
My students walk into the classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I want them to know I believe in them and they can do anything. I want them to be successful in school and in everyday life.
I teach at a Title I school in Kentucky where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
70% of my class are English language learners who love to come to school. Many of my students receive backpacks of food on the weekend and come from a very low socioeconomic homes. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they will be successful one day.
My Project
These math manipulatives will make a huge difference in students learning online. The first step in learning math is kinesthetically. They have to experiment and move objects around to get a good sense of math concepts. My fifth graders need these blocks to experiment with volume and my 3rd graders need them for area and perimeter.
Students need math manipulatives to become proficient in math.
Our students do not have the tools at home they need in order to become proficient in math due to their low socio-economic background. These manipulatives will enhance their learning, as well as building background knowledge before going into algorithms or pictures.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
