My Students

Exploring the neighborhood you live in can lead to many different math learning opportunities. Children can find many different objects that they can count, sort, and pattern with the help of adults. Collecting rocks, sticks, and leaves can be great way to encourage young children to love math.

The students in my classroom love to play outside.

Active hands-on play is important for children that are three through five years of age. Our playground provides a great opportunity for the students to play on the playground equipment, but my students are the most engaged when they are exploring the field behind our school. They find leaves, rocks, bugs, and sticks. The students are excited as they compare size, amount, and count how many they have collected.

My Project

The materials that I am requesting will give the students in my room the opportunity to make a connection between nature and math. The students can utilize the rocks, tree branch buttons, and KEVA planks for counting, number recognition, sorting, and patterning. The students will be putting the rocks in numerical order as they count one on one up to twenty. Students can also use the number rocks to count backwards, and learn about more or less. They can sort the rocks that have one number on them or two numbers. The sorting tray will help the students understand how to separate and group items together. The KEVA planks give the students the opportunity to make patterns, sort, count, and make shapes. The students will have many different activities that give them

The donations will improve my classroom by making a connection to the real world and math for my students.

This project will change how my students engage in everyday activities such as playing in the yard. As my students play outside they can collect items and have many different math skills that they can engage in. My students can count the sticks, write numbers on rocks, sort sticks, rocks or logs, and make patterns with things they find outside playing.
