My Project

My students and I would like hands on materials to help with learning the challenging concepts of addition and subtraction! We have been learning about addition and are starting subtraction. Addition was a small challenge and subtraction so far has proved to be much more challenging for my students.

It would be immensely beneficial to my student to be able to learn about these functions with visual representations that they can compose and decompose themselves.

We are also looking for more open-ended materials to expand our manipulatives shelf during choice time. We have a small set of these stacking rocks and my students are always eager to be the first ones to use them when they are out because there is not quite enough to go around.

Many if not all of my students haven't had access to materials such as these before entering my classroom. I would be so grateful if I was able to provide them with these tools to set a firm foundation for their later learning.
