My Students
Each day, first graders depend on me to teach them how to read, write, and obtain problem-solving skills that will be the foundation of their education. These students come from a variety of diverse backgrounds. Their families qualify for free lunch and often do not have the means to provide literature, manipulatives, and other educational tools at home. So, I feel it is my role to provide them with rich learning experiences on a day to day basis.
Due to their backgrounds and limitations in resources at home, my students often enter elementary school significantly behind their more affluent peers.
My Project
As a teacher, I always want to provide opportunities for students to touch something tangible to solidify their understanding, especially if it is a difficult concept like place value, time, or 3-dimensional shapes. These class sets of materials will allow students to have hands-on opportunities to explore and practice mathematical concepts so that they are deeply internalizing their understandings.
These individual clocks, place value sets, and 3D shapes will allow all types of learners to interact with the concepts and better understand what they are learning in math.
Many of my students have special needs and require such tangible manipulatives to illuminate what I am teaching. These sets will insure no one feels different and all students have the same opportunities to learn.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
