Math In All the Ways!

Help me give my students fun ways to gain a strong foundation in number sense!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shipman's classroom raised $475

My Project

I teach a TK/K combo class and our focus at school this year is to have fun and learn to love school through hands-on learning activities. My students are young and learn best through play. I want my students to leave TK and Kindergarten with a strong foundation in number sense. To help achieve this, we do counting collections daily through play, eating, and art.

The use of these items in this project will foster counting and number sense and the improvement in fine motor skills.

The clipboards and crystals will help make counting collections fun and accessible. Students will be able to use the clipboards to record their collections anywhere around the room. The squish and mold foam along with the sticker art projects will be integrated into counting collections and help improve fine motor. The glow-in-the-dark items will eventually turn into CGI-related math problems focusing on the division of items amongst students in the classroom.
