My Students

My students are curious, creative problem solvers. They are a diverse group of learners that have a high socioeconomic need. We are a Title I school with a high population of refugee students. Many of these students are multilingual and have missed out on a lot of learning opportunities throughout the pandemic. Despite these challenges, these kids have big dreams and so much leadership potential.

My Project

We engage in daily problem solving through cognitively guided math instruction. My students are very eager to be challenged and to share their thinking. The materials will make a difference in the learning of my students because they will be able to learn using a more hands-on approach. I will be able to plan lessons for my students that will be more interactive and engaging.

My students need a variety of quality math manipulatives to model their thinking and to help build their number sense.

The storage cart and caddy will ensure that students can easily access the materials during our daily small group lessons.
