Live Mathematical Classroom
$910
Submitted by Linda Cram and Kimberly Bose, Hanaford Elementary School
This grant enables the school to purchase and utilize grade level math activity books and the companion hands-on manipulatives for every classroom teacher and resource specialist. These materials were developed by world-reknown Mathematics Specialist Marcy Cook for the purpose of bringing mathematical concepts alive in the classroom. These added resources will enhance the Everyday Math program and district curriculum by engaging students daily in mathematical thinking, giving students continual practice in mental computation and communication, providing daily challenges and varied problem solving strategies, and meeting the needs of individual students to maximize the use of the whole math period.
"We are thrilled to receive this grant and have the opportunity to create a more student-centered, hands-on, and 'live' mathematics classroom.” - Linda Cram and Kimberly Bose
