Having hands on materials for math practice will increase student fluency and engagement and therefore make them better mathematicians.
This year my mathematicians will be working on playing math games and quickly building their gap skills so they can keep up with their classmates. Early intervention in math is crucial for students to feel and be successful in school.
The base tens blocks have been my best tool in teaching students about numbers beyond ten, adding and subtracting with carrying and borrowing, and place value. Having a set they can move around and a set that they can use on their magnetic white boards will be key for them to use them frequently with me and with each other to solve problems quickly in different contexts.
The panda set is to have in my calming corner when my students need a little break.
The dice are so we can play many, many games adding, subtracting, and identifying numbers with automaticity.
The beads are for them to make their own number boards with 10 beads on each string to be able to count up "how many more" or "how many left" when solving problems.
The pocket chart with the 100s is so students can see visually how the number system repeats and to verbalize the numbers while seeing them in front of them. This is particularly important for our multi-language learners.
