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
As a first grade public school teacher in a low income/high need community, I try to expose my first grade students to all facets of learning in order to help them meet their potential and enjoy the learning experience.
I have a group of ambitious and eager public school students who love math.
They are beginning to learn addition and subtraction through equations and word problems. Due to the new core curriculum state standards, my students are being challenged to learn how to add and subtract through ten frames, bar models, number lines, number grids, equations, and word problems where they have to show and explain their work. My students are eager to learn how to solve these math problems using these new methods.
My Project
I am requesting various math manipulatives that my students can use during math and the extended morning group session with students who need additional support. These materials can help reinforce the skills that my students are learning in class. They can also help my students who learn best through visual aids and hands-on manipulatives. By using the ten frame manipulatives, number lines, number grids, and computer games, my students will be able to improve their math skills in number recognition, counting, addition, and subtraction.
With your help, you will make it possible for my students to improve their math skills by enabling them to reinforce lessons learned in class through various manipulatives including ten frames, number lines, number grids, and computer games.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
