In first grade, students use a variety of tools to solve math problems as they learn that problems can be solved in many ways. As students are learning from home, they are limited by the manipulatives they have available to them. This project would change their Distance Learning experience tremendously as each student would receive their own set of Base 10 blocks, Rekenreks, and Unifix cubes to use in math.
Base 10 blocks provide opportunities for students to learn place value and build number sense, and Rekenreks and Unifix cubes allow students to model math stories and compare numbers.
Having these tools at home with them would allow students to explore different methods of solving using a hands-on approach to math. These tools would increase student engagement and make math lessons and concepts come to life! A variety of manipulatives would also give students more avenues for sharing their thinking and strategies with their peers. Using models to explain concepts is a fundamental skill first graders build with math manipulatives.
Help my teaching team deliver these tools to 100 first grade mathematicians who would become empowered with the hands-on learning discoveries they provide!
