My Project

Our early learners are able to meet the kindergarten math goals with the help of manipulatives. Hands on learning, using a rekenrek or linking cubes, provides a concrete and tactile learning environment.

Children like to see the same concept in different scale sizes and experience scaffolded learning.

For example, working together on a giant mat ten frame, and then working independently on a small ten frame, encourages agency for 5 and 6 year olds.

Learning numbers through play increases motivation and engagement for the littlest learners. The foundation for all higher math starts here!
