My Project

Having manipulatives is a great way to give students a variety of tools and strategies to help them begin to solve math problems.

As a class we have great group discussions about numbers, stories, equations, unknown parts, missing sums, and how to solve problems and different strategies we use to solve them.

It always amazes me how in-depth their young minds can go, the different ways each child thinks and how well they strategize when given the opportunity and appropriate materials.

Having some counting tools will be essential to their learning growth!
