My Project

My students are an enthusiastic, excited group of fourth grade learners! They love learning in a hands-on environment. As we build an understanding of numbers, it would be helpful for each student to have a set of manipulatives to work with.

I’m asking for place value chips so each student can have a set to work on building number sense.

Students will be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide in a hands-on setting. This will help them understand the connections between numbers and operations, and make them the amazing mathematicians I know they are!
