Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

I teach third grade in a school where the majority of the students are from low income families. Many of the students are immigrants and learning English as a second language.

In third grade students learn how to multiply. Ideally, they should have already mastered addition and subtraction facts. Unfortunately, many of the students come to third grade lacking skills in addition and subtraction. They can figure out facts by drawing pictures, but they do not know the facts by heart. I am able to teach them multiplication concepts; however, they have trouble memorizing the facts. This slows them down when they are doing more advanced math.

Math Shark games would provide a fun way for students to learn math facts by heart, instead of having to rely on pictures to find the answers to multiplication or other math problems.

Your help will be instrumental in providing my students with a solid background in mathematics which will be valuable for them, not only in third grade, but for the rest of their lives.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
