My Project

As a second-grade teacher having students enjoy math is one of the goals what I am aiming for this school year. The Power Pen by teacher created resources will allow me to create a math center that promotes individual learning for math. The Power Pen center would be one of multiple math centers in my classroom that students will be able to rotate through.

Students will be able to use the Power Pen to reinforce math skills through completing activities by selecting the correct answers by placing the pens sensor into the activity card and receiving instantaneous feedback.

With these pens and boxes, I feel that my students will be on their way to having a better sense of math.
