My Students
I teach at a very diverse Title I school in the inner city, which serves students in grades PreK-5 and provides rigorous academics and a safe learning environment. All children receive free breakfast and lunch due to this neighborhood's socioeconomic status. They come from a wonderful mix of ethnic and economic backgrounds, and despite any challenges that my students may face, they come to school daily prepared to do their best.
Each morning my students actively come into our classroom eager and excited to start a new day of learning.
They walk into the classroom bursting with energy, creativity and full of life. My students truly inspire me with their passion and insatiable love for learning.
My Project
Math fluency allows students to transition from counting or calculating the basic math facts to quickly recalling them, which then frees up mental resources for higher-level operations.
In the primary grades, it is important to build math fluency using multiple strategies so that all students can grasp numerical concepts and represent their thinking in various ways.
This ETA hand2mind Daily Math Fluency Kit for first grade is designed to build number sense and give students the ability to use mathematical relationships to reason with numbers and numerical concepts. It provides a full year of quick daily math activities to build fluency. It includes math talks, which elicits different strategies and provides opportunities for all students to reason about numbers and their relationships and to make connections in math. This kit will be used daily in the first ten minutes of math lessons to build their fluency.
