These tools will help students take a hands on approach to learning 4th and 5th grade math concepts. Using a hands on learning approach in the math classroom will help students make connections to the material they are learning as well as make it fun and interactive. We will use these items during guided small group instruction time, and the students will have access to them during independent practice time. Hands-on activities provides students with the opportunity to engage both sides of the brain while learning. Students use the left side of their brain to analyze and process information, and the right to visualize and process spatial reasoning to manipulate the tools being utilized. This method allows the opportunity to combine multiple styles of learning to help the brain to form a stronger connection to the material and helps the students file away more relevant information as they complete the activities. A few of the tools and activities requested will help my 4th and 5th grade students stay engaged during our measurement and data unit. This unit falls at the end of the school year after we take the PSSA's. It is a long unit and we try to make sure the students have fun with it and learn as much about the concepts are they can. They will learn both the metric and customary units of measurement for capacity, length, and width. Last year we had the opportunity to go outside with a collection of meter sticks and record various measurements of objects found around the property. I hope to expand the fun this year with the tools and activities listed under this project. The rest of the resources will be useful throughout the year for other skills that will be built upon from unit to unit.
