I am a second grade teacher in Flatbush, Brooklyn. I would like some math activities so that my students can become better at adding, subtracting, estimating and problem solving. These activities will help students become better at problem solving and more aware of mathematics around them. I find many students don't know how to use rulers so I have asked for rulers so that they can build upon their knowledge of measurement. They will be able to tell me how long their pencil or book is. I also feel by giving students an opportunity to create their own calendar they will get a better sense of the days, months and a year. They will be able to tell me how many days are in each month and how long a year is. These activities will give students many opportunities to build upon their knowledge of different skills. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my proposal.
