Make Math Relevant and Exciting

Funded Aug 8, 2022

It has been an absolute pleasure working with the donated items to my project. Most of my students have foundational gaps in skills, such representing numbers with place value blocks, adding and subtracting numbers, and model each skill, but also allow the students to demonstrate the same skills and teach each other. Once they learn how to represent whole numbers, they have been using the blocks to add and subtract.

My students were extremely excited that they could use the magnetic tiles to learn. The manipulation of these resources mattered to them a lot. They were also very excited about the rewards they would receive.

My next steps would be to continue using all the materials till the students have mastered each skill that the materials were used for. In the future, I would like to continue to use these materials for student centered activities where my students can continue to teach other.”
