Visual Models To Support Student Learning During Math Instruction

We need a magnetic number chart, write and wipe boards, and giant magnetic models chart. My students need visual supports as anchor charts to provide support in math. Visuals will help them as reference points during lessons.

My Students

We have a diverse population of English language learners from, Iraq and Mexico. It is a Title One school where all of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. They are dreamers, who inspire me everyday.

My goal is to provide an environment that supports exploration to learn and opportunities to grow by providing visual supports for math instruction.

Our students are focused and excited about learning. As an educator, I want to inspire my students to aspire to greatness.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Nelson Mandela

My Project

As a first grade teacher, I want to provide my students with as many supports as I can to help them thrive in their education. These materials will provide visual supports for learning. Students will use the math skills write and wipe boards to manipulate number which will help them with their number sense and recognizing patterns. As English language learners, students need tangible items to count, visuals to use as support, and opportunities to demonstrate their learning and understanding of math concepts.

Students learn through making connections, the Giant Magnetic Visuals Model Chart will allow them to see how numbers can be represented in many forms, the 120 chart will help them to recognize patterns and the dice will provide a tangible means to support student learning.

Having these materials will provide my students with a visual to recognize number order and support their knowledge of number sense. I will be able to model concepts counting, adding, and subtracting using ten frames, part-part-whole, and the number line on the chart. Students will be able play games with the ten-frame dice activities and have fun making connections. To support differentiated instruction, these materials will allow me, as the educator, to work with students in small concentrated math groups to support each student's individual needs. They can also be used as an assessment tool for students to demonstrate their knowledge and progress, as well as areas of opportunity to grow.
