My Project

Hello everyone! I am a first-year teacher and I recently got funded for my first project ever! I decided to create another project with math and science manipulatives that will help my future students. These manipulatives can help them if they need extra practice with their math. I added some things I can use while I am doing my lesson and also some that can be on my bulletin/wall so they can see it all the time. The rest of the manipulatives can be used in centers. Like the dice for example, that have a fraction on one of the faces, its respective fraction on another face, as well as the decimal. These are great manipulatives that students can practice with. I plan on using the magnetic tiles and circles fraction set so students can visually see the fractions while I am teaching them I can show them and having visuals for them are essential to their learning (like the ones on this project). I am so excited to be in the classroom with them.
