Help me give my students new math manipulatives and resources to use during Guided Math. We need clocks, place value dice and more. We also need student-friendly literature to teach mathematical concepts.

My Students
First grade is an exciting year full of many social and developmental changes. I have a very engaged group of students and they love to learn. However, there are times when “teachable moments” are interrupted due to outdated and insufficient materials that I am using to teach them.
Our 100-year-old school is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural school, serving students in pre-l through 8th grade.
We celebrate diversity on a daily basis and look for ways to create a learning environment that appeals to all types of learners. We are nestled in a southside Chicago neighborhood, walking distance from a large university.
My Project
Guided Math is a time to provide individualized instruction for all kinds of learners. Students need additional opportunities to problem solve in small groups and deepen their thinking. Teachers need opportunities to question students and fill in gaps in understanding.
Guided Math supports ALL learners using concrete examples and a hands-on approach to understanding patterns and numbers.
The materials requested will be used to facilitate independent, partner and small group work. Materials will be placed in the IRIS USA, Quart Stack & Pull Box storage containers, stored on the requested shelving unit. Gameboards and game pieces will be laminated for durability and longevity.
The requested literature will assist in deepening students' understanding of mathematical concepts. Students will use the dice as number generators for place value and for addition and subtraction facts. Various types of dice were requested to meet the needs of multi-leveled learners. Clocks will be used to practice telling time. The dry erase markers will be used across curricular areas but will be used during small and whole group math activities to illustrate students' thinking and assist in problem-solving.
More than half of students from low‑income households
