This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I am lucky enough to teach 17 wonderful second grade students! While I have not yet met all of my students, the ones I have met are balls of energy who enjoy being in the classroom. I do have some students who did not spend much time in the classroom last year, and are a bit on the shy side.
With everyone finally being back in the classroom, my hope is for some of my more introverted students to express themselves over the next ten months.
My Project
With students either being at home or in the classroom without manipulatives for all or most of last year, students are struggling more than ever with basic math fluency. Giving my students individual math toolboxes will allow them to remain safe while using tangible objects to understand concepts of addition, subtraction, problem solving, place value, and equal groups.
Fairness means everyone getting what they need to succeed and these toolboxes with help me differentiate instruction at all levels of learning.
The plastic boxes are large enough to fit the hundreds flats and are stackable for easy storage. The colored base ten blocks allow students to see the difference based on the shape and color of each unit. Counters are always useful as students can use them in all operations; addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. Students love using the whiteboard for math fluency, but second graders go through markers like water! Having extra markers will ensure my kiddos are set for the year. Thank you!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
