I have many second graders who strive every day to overcome challenges such as poverty or limited English abilities. Due to the budget cuts that have plagued my state, my school is functioning on a very limited budget, which has caused larger class sizes and limited resources to the teachers. I have more expectations with less money and materials than I did 30 years ago when I began my teaching career.
I love teaching and I'm always looking for ways to provide meaningful learning experiences for my students.
My Project
Being able to use hands-on manipulatives to engage students in the math process will help the students learn to love math while having fun!
The games and manipulatives were specifically chosen to meet Oklahoma 2nd Grade State Standards.
By incorporating the Math Brain Electronic Game students will be able to increase their fluency in their math facts. The Geoboards will help students explore everything from geometric shapes and measurement to area and perimeter! The Missing Addend Addition Fluency puzzles will allow students to boost addition fluency with missing addends—in a concrete, visual way.
I am excited to be able to include hands-on learning activities for my students.
