Touching Math

Help me give my students The hands-on opportunity to learn math through the use of manipulatives.

Ms. Nguyen Col J K Tuffree Middle School
Placentia, CA Grades 6-8

My Project

I teach middle school math to more than 200 students on a daily basis at Title 1 school in Southern California. My students possess diverse ability levels, including English Language Learners and students with special needs. All of my students want to learn and succeed, but they often face obstacles when concepts become too abstract.

Providing these math manipulatives will give my students the opportunity to physically interact with mathematical concepts, enhancing their overall learning experience.

Beyond the academic benefits, it simply makes the learning engaging and fun!

Thank you for your time and consideration!
