My Project

This project is full of all different types of hands-on activities for my students to learn in their own way. These games and activities will let my students explore math in a way that works best for neurodivergent minds.

My students are doing so well, they need higher math materials than what we have.

They are working on their math skills so much that the activities that we currently have, they have mastered. These new activities will help them explore things like measurement, place value, multiplication, and more on their own as well as in a whole group setting.

These materials will be used one on one, in small groups, and even in large groups to teach my 4th and 5th-grade special education students new math topics.
