My Project

My students with disabilities are curious, creative, and resilient learners who bring so much heart into the classroom each day. Each of them has a unique way of seeing the world, and I'm inspired every day by their determination and creativity. I am committed to providing them with the tools they need to succeed. To support their growth in math and real-life skills, I am requesting manipulatives that bring learning to life. Fraction manipulative will help my students visually break down parts of a whole allowing the to physically move and compare the pieces. Decimal manipulatives help bridge the gap between who numbers and fractions-essential for building number sense and confidence in math.

These tools will give my student the chance to engage with math in ways that are meaningful and fun!
