My Project

My first graders love doing counting collections! It’s one of their favorite parts of our math block—getting to explore numbers with their hands, work with partners, and build number sense in a fun, meaningful way.

Right now, we’re working with a limited selection of items, and I’d love to give my students access to a variety of engaging, hands-on math counters.

Think colorful bears, animals, fruits, buttons, pom poms, cubes, and other themed items that spark their excitement while they count, group, and record their thinking.

Your support will help give my students new and exciting materials to use during counting collections, which will keep their learning fresh and joyful. Thank you for helping bring more math magic to our classroom!
