What will be done with my students
Students will experience various educational benefits and structured activities during whole groups, small groups, and workstations. Students will benefit from a balanced approach that combines traditional instruction with interactive, play-based learning. This method not only makes math more enjoyable but also helps solidify critical math skills memorably and engagingly. Florida standards/benchmarks will relate to MA.4.NSO.2.2: Multiply two whole numbers, up to three digits by up to two digits, with procedural reliability; MA.4.NSO.2.3: Multiply two whole numbers, each up to two digits; MA.4.NSO.2.1 Recall multiplication facts with factors up to 12 and related division facts with automaticity; MA.4.AR.3.2 Generate, describe and extend a numerical pattern that follows a given rule; and MA.4.NSO.1.5 Plot, order, and compare decimals up to the hundredths.
Benefits to my students
Supporting this project will help us create a dynamic and supportive learning environment where students can thrive. I am confident that this initiative will have a positive impact on our 4th-grade students' math skills and overall academic success. We appreciate your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to enhance our math curriculum with your support.
