For this math course, the students have the abilities to use fraction pieces to visualize the fractions that they are comparing or adding. However, the packaging was not conducive to quickly accessing and utilizing the fraction pieces. At the moment, the manipulative is stored in plastic baggies that the students struggle to keep organized. They end up spending more time trying to find the fraction pieces that they need instead of working on assignments. The goal of getting this storage container is to make the use the fraction piece manipulative more successful for all of the students. The students and I spent part of class discussing what kind of organizer would work best. The product that we selected has removable dividers which allow for all of the fraction pieces to fit within the box. My students were excited that we were able to find an organizer that meet our needs and cannot wait to be able to use their manipulatives efficiently. I have seen students gain confidence by having access to the fraction pieces when solving problems however our current organization has also caused them frustration. This new organization box will help to eliminate this annoyance and help to foster and further students success in their math class.
