My Project

My students are 4th graders who are excited about anything that allows them to be creative and be on the move. These magnetic wands and chips will be an alternative way of working with reading and math skills. The chips will be used to represent sounds and syllables in words both for reading and spelling skills. They will also provide an alternate way to acquire automaticity with basic math facts.

Playing games with any child is a way to maintain interest and engagement.

The children will use the bingo chips to represent sounds or math problems correctly and then get to Zap them away with the wand. Yeah! I did it correctly! Great feedback to a child that is struggling with challenging ideas.
