Think Outside The Box
Research shows that due to COVID-19 students were greatly impacted in math especially underserved students. We wanted to transform how students were learning. To do so, NMFS formed a design team of teachers and math specialists to address (re)building math skills of K-5 students. Our team designed and curated effective hands on math games and small art activities that would reinforce math skills. We envisioned students receiving a small box filled with learning material that could be used at home as well as before, after, and during school. Our activity boxes also simultaneously reduce teacher burden.
