My Project

I am eager to start a new year and a new grade. These requested materials will be used for hands-on math activities such as math Jeopardy and other math games that help to learn to be fun and engaging. I plan on having kids work using the wipe-off boards to problem solve in math and science and then share ideas with the class. The wipe-off boards and pockets will allow those who aren't sure to change ideas and not feel someone will judge their thought process. So excited about the new year.
