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.

My Project

I am the Math Coach at a wonderfully diverse school where our students come from a variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. With the implementation of a new math curriculum, it is critical that our classrooms are well-equipped with manipulatives—specifically blocks—that support students in building a concrete understanding of mathematical concepts.

These manipulatives are not just tools; they are foundational resources that help students develop spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills that are vital for their future learning.

Our goal is to supply every classroom teacher with the necessary materials to engage students in meaningful, hands-on math instruction. Providing these resources ensures that all students, regardless of background, have equal access to high-quality mathematics education.
