I was able to use the materials to create three tiers of activity: one was a review level, the second was a grade practice level, and the third was a creative extention.\r\nBecause the Scholastic Resouce I was able to purhase, Comic Strip Math, included third through fifth grade standards, I was able to reach down to the previous year's standards to give fun extra practice with third grade skills. This included addition and subtraction under 20. \r\nI was also able to give engaging repeated exposure to kids working on grade-level skills. This was primarily fraction and decimal work, but we have just worked in some measurement. If students showed mastery, I was able to give them tasks with algebraic reasoning.\r\nAll kids had the option to create their OWN comics using the comic panel. Those were a lot of fun. They had to create short narratives for their peers to be able to solve the math problems they created.\r\nSo thank you! Little brains, all brains, love novelty and this gave my math class a fun boost.","fullyFundedDate":1737574084123,"projectUrl":"project/reading-and-writing-to-enrich-math/9058394/","projectTitle":"Reading and Writing to Enrich Math","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tarantino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2421534_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472412120034","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sandy-tarantino"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2341","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":366,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":64,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":71.2,"schoolId":2341,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Haw Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Haw Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/buncombe-county-school-district/haw-creek-elementary-school/2341"}
