By funding this project, you will provide my students with the tools they need during this pandemic to achieve the most important math standards in third grade. At the top of the list is learning their multiplication facts, determining the area and perimeter of plane shapes, and using the metric system to measure real life objects. These are important skills they will use the rest of their lives. Pedagogically, young mathematicians learn best when they engage in solving problems using hands-on, real-life experiences. Hence, they will use the colorful unit cubes and grafting paper to model multiplication groups and arrays, to measure areas, to learn the metric system. The cubes can be linked and will help me to provide intervention for students struggling with regrouping. Multiplication flash cards, play cards and dice are a fun way to practice multiplication facts. Students love to split up into Zoom breakout rooms and play games, such as Math Around the World. This gives me an opportunity to observe and assess their strengths and needs. In my opinion, having their own rulers to measure the world is a right of passage for third graders. Having their own set of cards, dice, cubes will enable my students to complete their independent work. They will also be able to play math games they've learned with their parents and siblings.
