Help support Ms. Castor's Classroom

My students are amazing little people who want so much to learn and grow. After being devastated by Hurricane Maria, our students have come to us with open hearts and willing attitudes, however they are without the necessary things needed to feel like the awesome mathematicians they are. These supplies will help make math more understandable to students who are not as familiar with a new language. They are excited about learning, which in turn inspires their teachers and peers . Theses supplies will give the students a good visual representation of math concepts that can sometimes be very confusing. The ten frames will help students compose and decompose numbers as the value is quantified. It serves as a visual representation that can be manipulated to do more complex problems. The rainbow fraction tiles help foster muscle memory as the students have a tactile-kinesthetic resources that allows them to solve fractions. Each rainbow tile correlates to a different quantity which will allows for my students to recall them with ease later. The colored pencils will help the students do multi-step problems when solving real world mathematical problems. In addition, it will be infused cross-curricularly with science, where the students will be exposed to inquiry based learning and record their new knowledge through labeling. Part of learning is through revising their knowledge in their interactive notebooks. Students will be able to color code this learning so that permanent cognitive connections are made. Lastly, the colored pencils will help our scholars delve further into "close reading". They will be able to locate vocab words, definitions, and pose examples by using specific colored pencils for each.
