Making Math More Fun!

My students need these math activities to make their workstations more hands-on. The Build-a-Number Houses will be great for composing and decomposing, and the Ten-Frame materials are perfect for building number fluency.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students all come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds near the heart of Houston, Texas. They do not have many opportunities outside of the classroom to grow in their learning because their parents are often busy working and cannot help them. They are hardworking students and I want to be able to provide them with opportunities to experience a variety of activities both in and out of the classroom.

My school is a Title I school where the majority of our students are from low-income homes.

The school does its best to provide what they can to our students, but cannot always meet the demands. After school programs are an opportunity for them to safely explore and grow as future members of our society.

My Project

I plan to use these materials to help my students have more engaging math workstations. As the school year goes on and my students are learning new objectives, I need to make sure they don't forget skills they learned earlier in the year. Students need to practice the skills that were learned in the first few months of school because those build on the upcoming objectives. The Build-a-Number Houses will help them with composing numbers, and they can build with the geometric shapes to help review their attributes. Ten-Frame activities are excellent for building their math fluency. The Simple Subtraction center will give them fun, hands on learning working with separating word problems.

My students have been successful in math and I want to make sure that they continue to grow in their math fluency.

I also want to make sure that I motivate my students as the year progresses, and I know that making math fun is the way to reach them. I want them to be engaged in their own learning.
