The overall goal of this grant is to provide my students an organized box of tools/manipulatives that will help provide hands-on learning experiences to enhance our District Math Curriculum and Math BEST Standards. Many of the tools/manipulatives pictured are already in my classroom from district provided/personal materials, therefore I need only to add a couple of the materials to create the Mini Manipulative Kit for Mastering Math.

Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 18

The Mini Manipulative Kits for Mastering Math have had (and continue to have) an immense impact on my students.  One of the learing objectives is for kinder students to learn a variety of strategies to solve math problems.  The Math Kits give my students access to these visual and hands-on strategies, whick in turn, give them the opportunity to experience/practice these strategies/tools.  The result has given my students experience that has built confidence in thier problem-solving.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

The overall goal of this grant is to provide my students an organized box of tools/manipulatives that will help provide hands-on learning experiences to enhance our District Math Curriculum and Math BEST Standards. Many of the tools/manipulatives pictured are already in my classroom from district provided/personal materials, therefore I need only to add a couple of the materials to create the Mini Manipulative Kit for Mastering Math.  

 

Category

Learning Aids - Sunshine state book sets, robotics kits, puzzle boards, science models, engineering supplies, etc. 

 

What will be done with my students

The kits will be used individually and/or in collaborative work. Each box will contain manipulatives/tools that students can use to while completing Math activities from our District Adopted Workbooks and Learning Games. These activities include addition/subtraction strategies, geometry and number sense practice. The tools will include the ten-frame cards requested which help with number sense and addition/subtraction concepts. The shape pieces, base-ten blocks, number line and two-sided counters are already in my classroom and will be added to the kit. 

 

Benefits to my students

These kits will benefit my students in a multitude of ways. The most important is having an organizational system that will be used individually or collaboratively. Also, each of the tools/manipulatives are used almost daily within my Math lessons. Having a class set of an organized system will give my students a hands-on application to our Math Learning Goals. Theses kits will also streamline our lesson/activity time as the students will not have to gather/put away several items- everything will be in one container!  

 

Budget Narrative

As stated before, the only items needed to complete the Mini Manipulative kit are the containers and the ten-frames. Both can be purchased on Amazon. I have the other manipulatives/tools already in my classroom. This grant would cover the cost to create 12 Mini Manipulative kits. 

 

Items

# Item Cost
1 ten-frame cards $13.08
2 plastic strorage containers $59.98
3 6% tax $4.38
  Total: $77.44
