Number Talk Nook!

My students need basic supplies for daily activities and a comfy area (carpet and bean bag chairs) for number talks. Before an activity, we all gather together at the carpet to talk about the math concept being covered.

My Students

I teach at a public, Title 1 Impact school in Savannah- Chatham County. My school currently has over 70% of the population receiving free or reduced lunch. The word impact by definition means to "have a strong effect on someone or something." As a teacher this is my goal each day: to make the greatest positive impact on my students.

My students come from very diverse backgrounds.

My school is certified for English Language Learners moving to this country. The students come from many different countries around the world. Most of our ESOL students were forced to leave their country of origin because of war, persecution, and/ or poverty. Often times these children come to us in complete shock. They are completely unfamiliar with the language and social mores of our country. In addition, they are expected to perform academically.

Despite being from a different country, a single parent home, or a poverty stricken neighborhood, my students are bright, energetic, and loving. I hope to continue to make the greatest impact on my students by offering them a safe, positive learning environment in which they will continue to thrive.

My Project

I teach six levels of math each day (kindergarten through 5th grade). Before every lesson, we all gather together in a common place to have a number talk. These talks about numbers are a crucial part of my lesson. This allows me to informally assess my students' knowledge of the math concept being covered. After the number talks, I am able to modify by lesson according to the needs of each group of students I am working with. By having a rug and comfy seating (bean bags) in my class, I can create a warm, inviting space for my young mathematicians.

In addition to creating an inviting learning space, I am also in need of basic supplies to help my students maximize their learning potential.

Many of my students come from low income households, so school supplies are in high demand. I love to integrate math and art. Supplies like construction paper and markers are key to allowing students to create visuals and concrete models of elementary math concepts. I also love to use small white boards and dry erase markers in math computation. By allowing students to have their own marker and dry erase board to solve a math problem, I am able to easily assess the needs of each student.
