I have noticed huge gaps in number sense in my first grade class this year. I believe this is due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This group of first graders has missed out on critical development in preschool to build their foundation of math learning. Due to this, I have seen many gaps in their math knowledge. As I teach the core content, I see a variety of student levels, but mainly, those who get it and those who are far behind.
My students need more manipulatives to build concrete, hands-on understanding of basic number sense.
As a teacher, I need more resources to grow my own understanding of foundational math skills to help support my students. These supplies will be used to help those students who are falling behind in the grade-level curriculum as I work with them during small group time.
The plastic drawers and containers will be used to help organize student supplies and math materials. Through sharing how to organize with students, I am teaching them to be responsible for their supplies and being independent in their learning. I will also be offering them choice in manipulatives to best meet individual needs. I will also use these to play games to support building fluency.
More than half of students from low‑income households
