  • Capturing Scholars' Attention Through Hands-on Math!

    Funded Sep 2, 2019

    Thank you so much for the addition and subtraction regrouping kits! Each year I have a few students who don't grasp the meaning of regrouping (formerly known as borrowing).

    When I pulled out these kits for the first time, my students' eyes lit up! They couldn't wait to use them. These kits helped the students understand why they were supposed to cross out digits and put ones in front of other digits. Knowing this will help them remember the steps in the future. The students are becoming more proficient at using these kits independently. They love to check their answer against the answer key. The next step for my students is to be able to regroup without the kit.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Klassy

  • Math Learning through Hands-on Fun!

    Funded Dec 19, 2017

    Thank you so much for the wonderful math manipulatives for my 5th graders! You wouldn't believe the sounds of delight I heard when they saw all of them sitting on the table.

    My scholars love to learn about decimals by playing the board game Allowance. In addition, scholars who were having a hard time learning decimals are understanding! For example, being able to create a visual of 0.2 x 4 on the dry-erase number line caused them to understand and visualize the calculation.

    I am able to use the new magnetic grid in more ways than I had imagined. Some scholars created a graph on it, while others used it to show slides, flips, and turns (now called translations, reflections, and rotations). I plan on using it soon to help scholars find area and perimeter of various shapes.

    Perhaps the biggest hit were the magnetic fraction bars and circles! Scholars in my small groups were able to show equivalent fractions by placing 3/4 next to 6/8, for example. They took this learning and applied it to adding fractions with unlike denominators.

    When other teachers see my new visuals out, I often get requests to use them. I tell them that it would be my pleasure to have them use them with their students. Just be sure to bring them back! :)”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Klassy

I am requesting math games, fraction multipliers, fraction and decimal bingo, dry erase number lines and dry erase markers to help students be active in their math learning every day. I meet with small groups daily to teach the exact skills they need to learn at their level. Scholars will use the number lines, magnetic fraction bars and circles, and white boards during this small group time with me. My students love to work in small groups! While I am working with a small group, other students work in their own small groups in math centers to solidify math concepts through games and activities. The Fractions & Decimals Folder Game Library and the Allowance Game will be used by students independently in their small groups.
