My Students
My students come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, but come to school every day ready to grow. At my school, children learn through hands-on exploration and cross-curricular instruction, supported by a STEAM focused curriculum.
“What,” “why,” "when," and “how” are words that are embraced and encouraged in my classroom.
Students are agents of their own learning and given the space to investigate their interests. My classroom is a place for students to grow, imagine, build, and thrive, all through learning.
My Project
The math materials in this project will help students master math concepts through hands-on activities. It is my goal to move from concrete applications in math to abstract applications. These materials are pivotal in being able to introduce skills in a concrete way. I have also included materials that will help students practice the skills they learned in fun ways with games. Students love to play games, and the games included are not only fun but they create opportunities for students to practice and perfect basic math problem solving skills.
Research shows that when students can see and manipulate materials in math, they develop a deeper understanding of the concept being taught.
These materials are class sets or small group sets of manipulative and materials that each student will have an opportunity to learn from. Sometimes as teachers we have a few of these materials and we have to be creative with how to distribute and use them. This project includes enough materials for every child to fully benefit from them.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
