Math Exploration

Help me give my students a more exciting and hands on math experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Matthews's classroom raised $499

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am seeking assistance to create a more engaging and interactive math experience for my first graders. My goal is to provide them with greater access to manipulatives, allowing them to explore mathematical concepts in a hands-on manner.

For this project, I am building a math cart that will house math manipulatives which students will have continuous access to.

In the cart will be rulers, number lines, shapes, dice, bubble poppers, centimeter cubes, and flash cards. In addition, there will be fun worksheets that match these manipulatives in the 5 slot paper tray so that students can practice during the day.

The joy that my students have for math is truly inspiring, and I am eager to enhance their learning by making it even more exciting and tactile. By incorporating these tools, I believe we can ignite their passion for math and foster a deeper understanding of the subject. Your support in this endeavor would mean so much to me and my students.
