My Students

"Math might not teach us to add love or subtract hate but it gives us hope that every problem has a solution."

Teaching math is a passion of mine.

I am so thankful to have the chance to teach not just my 20 first graders but also my partner teacher's 20 kiddos as well. I love having the opportunity to watch 40 six and seven year olds become mathematicians and thinking outside the box to solve problems.

Together, we are learning that math can be messy and that by sharing our smart thinking with others we become better problem solvers. My students love coming up with creative ways to show their thinking with others through the use of manipulatives, written expressions, models, and drawing illustrations. We share our thinking with others during partner activities, whole group time and small groups. I love watching them make the connection that math is a part of their lives every day.

My Project

One of the biggest challenges for beginning mathematicians is understanding the relationships between addition and subtraction. Visuals and hands-on activities help to build this understanding and the foundation of students mathematical understanding.

These SumBlox will give students to the ability to build and create a visual representation of addition and subtraction facts.

The students will be able to use the size differences in the blocks to help understand how the equal size represents that both sides of an equation are equal and not just a place to put their "answer". Not only will these help struggling students but will also be a great tool to challenge students to think beyond simple addition and subtraction facts.
