My Project

Please invest in new and engaging math manipulatives, including clay and sand, to support multisensory learning in our classroom. Hands-on materials help students grasp mathematical concepts more effectively by allowing them to see, touch, and manipulate objects. By incorporating fresh and exciting manipulatives, we can enhance engagement and deepen understanding, particularly for students who benefit from kinesthetic and tactile learning experiences. Additionally, clay and sand provide an excellent medium for reinforcing number formation, shape recognition, and problem-solving in a way that is both interactive and developmentally appropriate. These resources will ensure that all students have the opportunity to explore math concepts in meaningful and accessible ways.
