Did you like math when you were in school?? Our K-5th grade students generally don't like math and struggle with basic math concepts. Help me transform math time into a fun learning time with these hands-on materials. My students need math games and activities they can challenge themselves with during our daily math block. "Math used to be boring, but now I'm having fun!" a first grader recently told me while using dominos to practice addition and subtraction word problems. During whole class instruction and in small group centers, the materials purchased through your donations will help my students master foundational math concepts including: - learn the value of money and skip counting through using the cash register to run a classroom store where students count out change to purchase items; - understand place value and base ten through making bundles of tens to display in the place value pocket chart when tracking the number of days in school; - use the 120 pocket chart to count to 120 in many different ways and identify number patterns; - build geometric shapes on the geoboards to explore length, area, and fractions; - solve real world word problems like determining how many cupcakes of each flavor we need for a class party on the number balances; and - develop number fluency through composing and decomposing numbers one to 20 mentally (8+2=10, 5+5=10, 3+7=10) to solve problems displayed on the oversize magnetic ten frames and rekenrek during our daily Number Talks. These hands-on, interactive materials will bring abstract math concepts into the real world for six, seven and eight year olds. Your generous donation will help build a math foundation for my students which will serve them for the rest of their lives!
