Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
TECO - $1,314.07
My goal is to help deepen my student's mathematical understanding and reasoning with hands on math manipulatives.
I am very lucky to teach math all day to every 4th grader at Heritage Elementary. I noticed last year that many students needed additional support with abstract concepts such as fractions and decimals, place value, and measuring with different units of measurement. The math manipulatives I am requesting with this grant will help my students make these abstract math concepts concrete through visual representation and hands-on exploration. Math is no longer "just a number" since manipulatives help to create meaning for students and allows for deeper thinking, understanding, and reasoning to occur within the classroom.
With using these manipulatives in my daily instruction, I hope that my students will gain confidence and courage in math to continue learning and applying the mathematical concepts taught in class to the real world.
I also expect to increase student achievement in math scores in the areas of fractions, measurement, and number sense and operations on student math assessments given four times throughout the year.
