My Project

My grades 4 - 6 students are naturally curious and inquisitive. They love coming to school and doing their best, while working through their challenges.

Hands-on math activities engage attention and activate learning.

I want to offer my students different avenues of accessing math concepts, to accommodate their different learning styles. It is awesome to see the light of understanding brighten their countenances when they "get it". I would love to see more of those Aha! moments and realize that I need to provide a variety of ways that my students that will provide them with the support they need to learn math concepts.
