The students will use a variety of resources to enhance their learning of math. There is a special need for conceptual math applications and students grades K-6 will be able to explore the concepts behind the different Common Core standards through literature, technology, use of math manipulatives and art. I hold a new position in an empty room with no supplies.
The students will benefit tremendously from accessing math through a variety of modalities, authentic applications of math skills, as well as fun and creative ways to practice math fluency. They will play math games on the tablets and with cards and board games for practice and to gain math facts fluency. They will also use the tablets for the math apps that correlate with our current math curriculum to reinforce and assess the math standards and skills being taught. Using the tablets with headphones will facilitate further one to one instruction as needed. The primary grades will use the Rekenreks, tens frames, counters, fact family and tens frame whiteboards to practice modeling and demonstrating an understanding of number concepts. The math dice, rulers, and geometric measuring tools will be used for project based learning through the creation of a variety of models. The whiteboards and markers, dice, clear counting chips, tablets, and cards can be used for a variety of hands on lessons for all grades. The projector and books will provide multiple mediums through which students are introduced to math concepts. The printer, pencil sharpener, pencils, glue sticks, scissors, and privacy boards will provide the resources needed to carry out the various activities outlined and more.
The Memorization and repetitive use of standard algorithms with pencil and paper doesn't cut it anymore! Thinking outside the box (and worksheet) is vital for producing critical thinkers and math innovators.
