Math Minded

My students need math activities, such as electronic flashcards, hundreds chart and games so that they can work independently while I am working with a small review group.

My Students

Help us make the most of our math time! My students need engaging math activities which will help them practice skills we are learning during class time and that they can do independently.

My students are a mix of English language learners and native speakers from low socioeconomic and middle class families.

Some of my students have physical disabilities and others have learning disabilities. There are students who are performing at advanced levels and others who are far below basic. We have quite an eclectic group this year! One thing ALL of my students have in common this year is fondness for math time.

My Project

The resources I am requesting are specifically for students to use independently during the time I pull a small group for extra review and practice. Our class needs some engaging activities that students can use to strengthen their math skills independently. The electronic flash cards, the 100 chart, and the games are all to ensure students not in my review group are using their time productively as well.

Please help us build our math centers resources.

These games and activities will help my students continue to build their skills and will allow me the freedom to pull small groups who need my support for additional review and guided practice time.
