Secret Ingredient to Word Problem Comprehension
Funded Aug 16, 2022Thank you so much in providing the necessary tools for my students to become successful in comprehending world problems. My students were very excited each time I introduced a new concept using the materials.
My students are using the Giant Magnetic Visual Model Chart daily during our whole group math time to work out the problem of the day. Students are able to implement the 10 frame, number bond, and number line in order to work out the problem of the day.
The Base 10 Hands-on Teaching Kit along with the place value wipe boards have helped my students to understand the concept of standard and expanded form. It has also increased their concept in counting by 10s, and 100s giving them the skills to transition from single digit addition problems to double digit addition problems.
The Monster Balance Scale and 10 frame class set has prepared many of my struggling students to transition from concrete to abstract representations. The Building Math Skills Write & Wipe Boards are being used to improve counting fluency 1 to 120, counting by 2s, 5s, & 10s. They have also assisted students in building mental addition fluency by applying 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, or 10 less.
The Snap Number Slide Bonds & It's a Snap Simple Addition Center have been used to provide intervention to struggling students in need of more practice through the use of concrete materials.
Since we are moving closer to the end of the school year our plan is to use the materials to transition to two digit addition to three digit addition world problems. This will give them a glimpse of second grade concepts.
My students and I greatly appreciate all of your donations. We will continue to use the materials in various ways to build world problem comprehension.”
With gratitude,
