A Champion for Learning - $223.58

Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 18

Many of my students struggled with learning basic addition facts early in the year. Using multiple senses helps them to retain information better. The hopscotch math fact mats were the perfect solution. Kids would take off socks, jump to each equation repeating it aloud. Much more engaging than other things I have tried. Plus, since it's fun, it takes the pressure off the students and they perform better. It has become one of their favorite math fluency activities!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

For students to engage in multisensory math fluency practice with the ability to check their own answers.

What will be done with my students

Students will be able to unroll a yoga mat with the addition or subtraction fact they are working on, then hop from square to square as they solve each equation.

Benefits to my students

Each mat will have a different math fact (ie: +4, -6...). Students may independently choose the mat that corresponds with the fact they are working on. Students will be able to self-check their answers or partner with another student. Using multiple senses appeals to and benefits students of various learning styles and abilities.

Budget Narrative

Covers the cost of 20 mats (10 for addition & 10 for subtraction) and storage bin, including the cost of sales tax.
