My Students

My students are patient, kind, and helpful to each other. They see a classmate in need in the classroom, at recess, or during lunch and they are there to lend a hand. They are coachable and willing to listen to feedback to improve academically.

My Project

The students I have this year were in 3rd grade the year COVID hit and shut down schools across the country. 3rd grade math is foundational to 5th grade standards - understanding the relationship of place values, benchmark fractions, and multiplication facts. Since students were at home, with limited resources, they missed an opportunity to build the foundation of working with these ideas conceptually. The Dominoes, Fraction Manipulatives, and Dice game sets that I have requested will help my students grapple with the concepts of place value, decimals, fractions, and the relationship between multiplication and division.

Students learn best when they can touch the concepts through manipulatives and form their own ideas of the math concepts.

The materials I have requested will help the students bridge their understanding from basics and foundational work of 3rd grade to the more complex problems of 5th grade.

Each of these manipulatives touch on the following standards:

5.NBT.A.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.

5.NBT.A.3.B: Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

5.NF.A.1 Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators.

5.NF.B.4 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

5.NF.B.7 Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.
