Manipulating through Math

Help me give my students the hands-on math materials I am not able to provide at the moment due to unexpectedly being given two classes at one time due to a maternity leave and lack of coverage.

My Project

Hello,

I am an autistic support teacher who teams up with another teacher and we each take on the roll of math or reading for our kiddos.

Although I have taught reading all year, she went out on maternity leave with no coverage and I am responsible for providing math instruction as well. I am looking to be able to provide hands-on, engaging materials to meet each students' needs. Being an autitic support classroom our abilities and levels vary drastically.

As a dedicated teacher I want to ensure that I am not only working on new target goals and skills but allowing them to be able to maipulate through materials to practice and review all known skills. We need Math Folder Game Libraries, a math patterns learning center, a color sorting and matching game and felt board number fingers.
