I have been teaching Kindergarten for 11 years at my low income school and for the past 3 years I was departmentalized. I taught ELA and Social Studies and the other teacher taught Math and Science. Since the Math/Science teacher was a new teacher, I gave her all the Math/Science materials I had collected over the years to help her out. Sadly, I did not get any of those materials back this year and I do not have the center materials I need to help differentiate instruction and provide engaging independent math opportunities for my students.
I would like to use these counting boxes and math centers to help differentiate my instruction and get my students excited about counting and math. These materials would provide fun and interesting ways to count with hands-on manipulatives that students will love doing. Counting objects on paper from our curriculum or even on a computer screen with our District-wide math program can be very tedious for students and I believe these centers would alleviate students distress over counting objects. It would make counting fun again!
