My Students

Do you remember what it was like trying to understand the concept of dividing a whole into parts for the first time? It might as well have been rocket science right! I want to help my kids visualize math so that they can understand the concepts and it won't be so frustrating for them.

My school is a first year charter school in a low income community.

We have very little funding and not much support from the county. The students are 90% African American. We have an inclusion model in our classrooms but only one Special Education teacher on staff to support all of the classrooms. I have all kinds of learners in my classroom, but mostly visual and tactile, and I am constantly trying to find a way to reach them all.

My Project

I have chosen a collection of giant visual aids for the board. I am not the best artist, I do not have smart board in my classroom and my school does not provide chart paper or classroom computers, so my visuals are limited. This magnetic manipulative set will help me demonstrate the concept as a whole group and then let them play with the parts for small group activity. It should reach the visual and tactile learners. The "Make a Pizza At My Seat" is a fun small group activity that should make the concept stick! This is the kind of learning they they will remember even when they are in college!

Everyone learns differently and I want to reach every kind of learner in my classroom despite my technological challenges.

I know that my students are getting tired of my bad drawings and I just want to wake up mathematics for them and make it more colorful and engaging and most importantly memorable.
