I teach in a county where there is a high number of Covid-19 cases. This school year has proven to be very difficult for both students and teachers. Our district has strict guidelines for keeping kids safe, which includes not being able to share materials. Last year the students were in the middle of their geometry unit when the pandemic hit.

I have been teaching second grade for several years, and I know that geometry is one of the more difficult concepts for children to grasp. I want to make sure that any gaps in geometry that the children may have incurred are easily covered this year and there is no better way to do that than with enough hands-on manipulatives that every child will be able to use. Learning is enhanced when students acquire knowledge through active processes that engage them. That is why the resources that I have requested will be so valuable. Students will be able to learn and 2D and 3D shapes using manipulatives to construct and analyze shapes.
