Hands on Math: More Manipulatives

The Description

As a math teacher, many of the concepts I teach my students are abstract. It is my responsibility to make sure that these concepts become as concrete as possible. One of the best ways to ensure that this happens is having my students work with manipulatives. Using manipulatives gives students the ability to work out solutions on their desk and really build their own understanding. Once students are able to make these connections, they are able to retain the material so much easier. Because of these benefits it would be amazing for my students to have access to even more manipulatives. These are the different types of manipulatives I am fundraising for.

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal, I will use the funds raised to purchase as many different types of manipulatives as possible.
