My Project

My 2nd-grade class would love to take off like a rocket with Hands-On Equations!

Help my students explore the world of pre-algebra by making equations with manipulatives and solving math problems at a HIGH level.

Students will soar in math achievement when they learn to balance scales on both sides of an equation. So please give us a hand at Hands-On Equations and we will love you to the moon and back!

Reading allows children to explore the world and experience the adventures of characters, problems, and solutions. We will use books to practice our literacy skills and play dough to represent vocabulary terms.

My students are like sponges when it comes to absorbing math, reading, and science. They have designed obstacle courses and they thrive on learning about math and science. The loftier the challenge - the more they love it! So please help my students buckle up and go further into math exploration and literacy!
