My scholars are in need of math counters to learn math concepts such as simple addition/subtraction. My students also need math puzzles to practice making numbers and number recognition. My scholars will also be able to practice writing letters through forming letter strings, random scribbling, controlled scribbling, lines, and patterns, My scholars will use their journals to keep story dictations and pictures of objects or people. These manipulatives, sand, tiles, games, dough, Magna-Tiles, etc., will make learning math and literacy concepts engaging and fun for my students! My students will greatly benefit from these materials to achieve academic success.
