My Project

This year I am working with a diverse group of energetic Kindergarteners in need of interactive and engaging modes of practice. They came from many different backgrounds and experiences and have meshed into a wonderful working unit who daily build our recognition of numbers and an understanding of their value. To do this well, more than paper and pencils is required. Small group practice for all is essential and when I am in these groups, the remaining 4 and 5 year olds require high interest activities that are of quality to keep them engaged and moving forward as learners.

Through this project I hope to provide my students with activities that allow them to independently practice basic place value as well as addition and subtraction.

These tools include weighted numerals that allow children to use a balance and compare the values of numbers, and flashcard activities where children will practice viewing basic facts and computing sums and breaking numbers into their place values, puzzles that build number values or basic facts, and small books with math activities that self correct with hot dot pens. These tools are building blocks that can then be used in more complex math and literacy work with a minimal purchase of extension pieces and would be wonderful to have for young learners to grow their own knowledge through hands-on and engaging activities.

Mrs. Repasi will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 11.
