Bringing Math to Kindergarten

Help me give my students counting collections and math manipulatives. My kindergarteners will use these items as counters, and they will practice counting, grouping, and sorting.

My Students

My classroom is diverse. My students come from a range of backgrounds, cultures, and languages. They are creative, energetic, and eager to learn. Many of them are English Language Learners and building connections between them, fostering a sense of community, and inviting their knowledge into the classroom has been a rewarding challenge.

This year, students will become empowered as they express themselves and explore their identities in the classroom.

We will play, make art, use language, investigate the natural world, and build- keeping each individual identity and their contribution to the community at the forefront of our discussion. My class is full of bold and bright personalities. I look forward to developing skills that will serve them to share more of themselves.

My Project

These items will be used as counting collections and math manipulatives. Students will learn to count, group, and sort using interesting, engaging counters. Buying these products in bulk allows me to divide and build a variety of counting collections for learners of all levels. Eventually, students will use these collections to solve word problems.

Students will begin to see that math is everywhere- they can find, build, and use counting collections anywhere they go.

I want to set an example and provide them with an accessible classroom collection to work with.
