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.
I work at an inner-city elementary school where all of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Coming from poverty, many of my students lack essential money skills and struggle academically. Engaging, interactive, and fun math activities will help my students learn valuable skills such as counting, adding and substracting, recognizing patterns, problem-solving skills, money concepts, and collaborating with their peers.
My students are little balls of energy, curious, love learning, and are simply adorable!
Unfortunately, many of my students struggle with focus when it comes to learning. However, my students' focus greatly improves when they are actively engaged in hands-on activities. My students thrive when they learn with manipulatives!
I love my students and want to provide them with hands-on materials to support their learning, so they can succeed in the classroom and beyond!
My Project
Research shows that students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process. The following manipulatives would be used to teach and reinforce essential, foundational math skills.
Academic achievement skyrockets when students work with manipulatives to comprehend and retain what they are learning!
Tactile Number Lines: These are awesome! The number lines have textured dots on each number so students can use their sense of touch to reinforce counting, skip counting, and adding and substracting to 20.
Addition Write and Wipe White Boards: Students love using white boards with dry erase markers! These boards are super cool due to being two-sided. One side has a table where students fill in numbers to learn addition facts, recognize number patterns, practice skip counting and much more! The other side of the board has fill in equations to offer open-ended practice with tons of math facts.
Money Dice: These money dice are over-sized, colorful, and can be used for endless games to teach money combinations. These dice would be perfect to use with the Addition Write and Wipe Boards listed above. Students could roll two of the money dice to create addition problems to solve.
Money and Time Mats: These mats are perfect for using in small groups, independent practice and for early finishers. Students use answer tiles to match with corresponding images on money and time.
Place Value Tiles: These tiles would be perfect in teaching students place value skills as they build multi-digit numbers, identify whole numbers from one to a million, explore powers of 10, and understand dollars and cents.
Write and Wipe Number Lines: This is a class set of number lines which can be used over and over with dry erase markers. I would love to tape these to each student's desk.
