My Project
The mind of a first grader is so malleable which makes it the perfect grade level to help young students build their number sense. These Number Stax were created to do just that. They will allow students to see how easy it is to compose and decompose numbers. They will learn to create equivalent expressions. They will learn to compare numbers, all with this one resource.
Number Stax will help make learning fun!
My scholars are eager learners who love to get their hands and bodies involved on their learning. Using Number Stax to learn math will allow them to do just that! Moving the big blocks around to help them make sense of math will allow them to use their creative brain in ways they never realized they could!
