When you visit early education classrooms you will likely see the delight on young children's faces when they have the responsibility to perform these "caring"acts.
To foster the spirit of responsibility and care, Math Shelf created a virtual fish tank. Each time a student masters new math skills and knowledge their fish tank will appear, and acts of care will ensue.
Teachers will see students' excitement when they feed their fish, clean their tank, care for a sick fish, give their fish a nap, change the water to keep fish healthy, and many more responsibilities.
We are excited to hear what you and your students think about Math Shelf's fish tank. Please email us!
Finally, we'd also like to thank Cheri Doria, Director of Lindsay Early Education, for giving us the idea to integrate a Fish Tank into Math Shelf.
