My Project

Help me to make learning a lifetime endeavor for all students. Children need to experience fractions, addition, subtraction, and multiplication, probability, and place value through a variety of resources. We do not live in a one size fits all.

Having a diverse treasure chest of math supplies will help my students visualize and experience math.

Children learn best with highly engaging tasks and materials. Working math word problems with kinesthetic materials will assist students in literacy skills as well as mathematical skills. Math word problems involve reading comprehension and math and literacy are easily integrated.
