Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My classroom is located in the state of Washington. Our students are hardworking, kind, eager individuals.
Our differing cultures, backgrounds, economic statuses, and languages provide richness in the classroom.
However, we also face challenges. One challenge is that we need more materials and resources.
My Project
There have been several studies that show how effective manipulatives have been in increasing mathematics achievement.
Before students can really understand mathematical concepts deeply, they must actually experience or "do" the situation; manipulatives make the "doing" possible.
Manipulatives help students learn by allowing them to move from using concrete materials to deeper abstract thinking. Manipulatives have been found to help with verbalizing mathematical thinking, discuss mathematical ideas and concepts, relating real-world situations to math, and working collaboratively.
Please help put manipulatives into the hands of my students. The manipulatives I'm asking for are magnetic base ten blocks, number lines, 100s charts, magnetic tangram shapes, and foam shapes. Thank you in advance for your support.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
