I teach an accelerated second grade class at a Title I school where sixty-one percent of students qualify for free or reduced price lunch. My students come from a wide range of households speaking many different languages and having varying levels of access to learning opportunities outside of school.
What binds my students together is their sense of a class family.
They know that when they enter their classroom, they can count on each other for help, advice, and encouragement. Most of our activities are based on cooperative learning and teamwork.
My Project
The students in my advanced second grade class have a range of math abilities. In order to address everyone's needs, I would like to provide them with math centers that encompass both Grade 2 and Grade 3 math skills, so that those students who have mastered this year's standards may go on to next year's.
The opportunity of having fun and engaging math centers, which suit all my students' needs, will ensure cooperative learning at its best, where the the whole class is practicing skills and feeling successful.
Students will get to try out a whole variety of math skills with these two complete sets of math centers.
More than half 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
