My Students

I'm sure you've all heard the phrase: An elephant never forgets. Well, I'd love to alter that phrase to: The hippos never forget! Our class is constantly exposed to countless new skills in math and would love some new, fun fluency items to help us practice, remember, and become quicker, too!

The hippos are a part of a close-knit, forward thinking community, where children love to learn and adults love to help teach.

This community, and our students, are constantly on the forefront of the education world. Teachers, staff, and students alike are growing and experimenting with today's resources to ensure the highest quality of education! We want to challenge our children, and our children love to be challenged! They constantly ask for new and different classroom experiences, and they love to use new and interesting classroom resources, tools, and games to boost their learning and instruction!

My Project

I am requesting some new math fluency items to use with the hippos. Educational experts agree that the ability to recall basic math facts and skills fluently is necessary for students to attain higher-order math skills. Each day, our class begins math instruction with 15-30 minutes to go back and review previously learned concepts and skills. We use flashcards, games, white boards, and other various methods to refresh our memory on the basics, like addition, subtraction, time on a clock, money, and more. With these newly requested items, the hippos can still practice math fluency, but in new, exciting, and stimulating ways. We all know how children love games, and with these new materials and new types of fluency practice, the hippos will be able to effortlessly recall basic facts and skills...thus leading to the phrase "the hippos never forget"!

Grover Whitehurst, the Director of the Institute for Educational Sciences (IES), noted this research during the launch of the federal Math Summit in 2003: "Cognitive psychologists have discovered that humans have fixed limits on the attention and memory that can be used to solve problems.

One way around these limits is to have certain components of a task become so routine and over-learned that they become automatic." These new math items will help all learners with this fluent retrieval!
