My Project

What I love most about my students is their boundless curiosity and excitement for learning. They approach every new challenge with enthusiasm, thriving when they can explore concepts through hands-on activities and play. Resources like 3D shapes allow them to grasp the fundamentals of geometry by exploring spatial relationships and recognizing shapes in their environment. Play dough, on the other hand, helps develop fine motor skills while encouraging creativity. As they mold shapes and numbers, students reinforce math concepts and improve coordination. Pretend costumes inspire imaginative play, which is key for cognitive and social growth. Through role-playing, they practice communication, problem-solving, and even real-world math skills like counting and measuring.

Math Balance Toys provide a tangible way for students to understand addition, subtraction, and equality, making abstract math concepts more concrete.

Number matching counting games build strong number sense by helping students match quantities with their corresponding numbers. Jumbo Magnetic Numbers give them an interactive way to explore number sequences and engage in playful learning, while bingo games foster number recognition, pattern identification, and social interaction in a fun, engaging setting. Each of these resources will not only support my students' growth in math but also cultivate their critical thinking, creativity, and love for learning.
