Funded Aug 11, 2020Second Grade delves into some tough Math topics and the materials from my project, Making Math Fun! have really helped my students learn and master these topics. When the donations arrived, the children were super excited to see what came in and even more excited when they realized they would have their very own manipulatives to use. This grant aided in not sharing germs during the global pandemic.
Learning how to add and subtract with regrouping is a very challenging task. The unifix cubes purchased allow the students to visualize the numbers and physically manipulate them as they add and subtract. It makes the concept more concrete for them. The plastic coins allow the children to compare and physically move the coin values along the number chart showing the amount they have. Once again, making an abstract concept more understandable.
We will use the unifix cubes again when we dive into addition and subtraction with 3 digit numbers. I look forward to utilizing these great materials to help my students grow.”
