During math instruction I like to incorporate real world examples while being hands-on using white boards and math manipulatives. Allowing students to show their work and thinking in multiple ways makes learning more engaging. The use of dry erase whiteboards and Expo dry erase markers will allow for quick responses and check for understanding. The use of the Dot Dice and Fraction Tower Cubes will help students hone their mathematical thinking skills. They help students connect ideas and integrate their knowledge so that they gain a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. A quote from the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) states "that in order to develop every student’s mathematical proficiency, leaders and teachers must systematically integrate the use of concrete and virtual manipulatives into classroom instruction at all grade levels."
