My Students
I teach math enrichment to elementary students in an urban setting. My goal is to make math meaningful, appealing and accessible to all students. My students enjoy games and activities that help them to practice their STEM skills.
My early learners and special needs students love hands-on projects and part of my job is to provide materials and guidance that will engage students in problem-solving tasks.
While older students and those without special needs can be more creative and use tools to create and manipulate their own materials, my students with special needs and those who have not developed the dexterity to do so will require some store-bought materials to complete similar tasks. With this scaffolding, I hope to lift all students to a level that they can have a rich educational experience
My Project
My special needs students rotate from center to center to engage in various STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) activities during a 40-minute block of time. I need plenty of durable, appealing tools for each center. Students with autism and other special needs require activities that allow them to create despite limited fine motor. The Number Maze Magnet game, as well as the Duplo first Train, teach numbers while the Paint Bucket color match focuses on sorting.
The products in this project were specifically chosen to teach math and engineering skills while developing dexterity.
From the Skoolzy Butterfly Garden to Smartmax dinosaurs and Smartmax magnet tiles with wheels, these activities will engage students and help them to focus on learning STEM skills. I cannot wait to be able to bring some new materials to brighten their STEM experience!
