My Project

My students are energetic and eager to learn, and we are working hard to build strong math fluency. To support their growth and make learning math engaging, I’m requesting a variety of hands-on math games that will help them develop essential skills while having fun!

This project will provide:

Jump 2, Jump 3, and Jump 5 games to help students practice and reinforce skip counting and number sense in an interactive way

Math for Love: Addition to make practicing addition fun and interactive while building confidence in number relationships

I see 10 to support early number sense and help students visualize numbers differently.

Splash Subtraction for a playful, engaging way to practice subtraction skills

Fluency Dominos to strengthen addition and subtraction fluency through a hands-on, competitive game format

These games will provide students with opportunities for hands-on learning, collaboration, and developing fluency in math operations through play. Incorporating these fun and engaging activities into our classroom will help our students build confidence, reinforce key skills, and foster a love of math.
