Project Goal

Currently, 57% of my class recognizes numbers 0-20. With the implementation of tactile learning tools, such as counting cubes, sorting manipulatives, and interactive math games, I expect that 85% of my students will confidently recognize and identify numbers 0-20 by the end of the school year. This aligns with Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards for Mathematics, specifically MA.K.NSO.1.1 and MA.K.NSO.1.2, which focus on number recognition and counting objects.

To achieve these outcomes, I will use lesson plans that integrate these materials into daily math centers. For example:

Lesson Plan:
Objective: Students will use counting cubes to identify and count numbers 1-20.
Materials: Counting cubes, number cards, and sorting trays.
Activity: Students will work in pairs to draw a number card and build a tower of cubes matching the number. They will then count their cubes aloud to their partner for verification.
Assessment: I will observe and record each students' accuracy using a checklist.
Progress will also be tracked through bi-weekly assessments and observation checklists. Although I am not held to meeting the exact expected outcomes, these tools and strategies ensure students achieve measurable growth in number recognition while fostering engagement, confidence, and a love of learning.

How Project Benefits Students

Kindergarten students learn best through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. This project will provide math tools and manipulatives that transform abstract concepts into engaging activities, making learning fun and accessible for all students. Play-based learning allows children to explore numbers, shapes, and patterns at their own pace while developing foundational math skills such as counting, number recognition, basic addition, and shape identification.
Using math games and tools will increase the students' ability to recognize and count numbers. Also, it will improve their fine motor skills through manipulative use. I will use my observation checklist)
 

 

Expected Outcome(s)

By integrating these materials into daily lessons,90%of students will achieve proficiency in foundational math skills such as number recognition, sorting, and basic addition. This will also foster engagement and fine motor development, ensuring students build the confidence needed for future learning.
 

 

Detailed Cost Summary

These materials will give my kindergarten students the chance to explore abstract math concepts in a fun and engaging way. With tools like counting cubes, sorting games, and other tactile resources, my students will be able to connect hands-on activities to foundational math skills such as counting, addition, subtraction, and pattern recognition. These tools make math come alive for young learners, especially those with special needs, by providing visual and tactile ways to understand concepts that might otherwise feel too abstract. They’ll also help build fine motor skills and encourage collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving in a joyful and supportive learning environment. At a total cost of $218.45, these resources will bring math to life and make learning accessible and exciting for all my students.
