Many of my incoming 4th grade math students say that math is their favorite subject. That's fantastic! I want to make sure that positive attitude toward math learning continues. That's why I plan to incorporate hands-on learning into every lesson. The students will be challenged in many physics projects, some of which will include Maker Materials (craft sticks, tape, string, toothpicks, balloons, rubberbands). The soft tape measures will be important in many measurements projects, and they are extremely versatile and durable. Math journals are an effective way for students to keep track of and reflect on their learning--and special pens and quality pencils will make the experience even more enjoyable! Special math dry erase mats (with markers and erasers, of course) will allow my students to explore a variety of math concepts without having to rely on buying or printing special paper. Although my students could access an online calculator, I would like them to have a handheld calculator as a tool as they work through challenging word problems. I need magnets to hold things up in my classroom so my students can see them! The easel paper will allow us to collaborate on ideas and post those ideas as a reference throughout the lesson/unit. The books are two of my favorites. One Hen helps students think about and discuss finances and global citizenship. The biography of Gregor Mendel is useful not only in teaching about things like genetics and gardening but also is another example of how any of us can be a mathematician or scientist in our everyday lives.
