My Project

Research has proven that students who are taught using hands-on teaching methods with manipulatives outperform those who are not. It is true for many subjects but most documented in mathematics as acquisition of early math knowledge and skills is the most important predictor not only for later math achievement but also for achievement in other content areas. We hope to uses these manipulatives with our students who struggle with both math and reading!

Hands-on learning drives authentic understanding and application versus memorization algorithms, or “tricks" and students who use manipulatives create physical evidence of thinking and reasoning, solve problems, and make sense of mathematical ideas.

I am hoping that by having flexible seating, games, snacks and prizes that students will remain engaged so that they will have continued success in the classroom!
