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 writing to request assistance in acquiring 10 Barbie dolls for our Statistics class. Our students come from a low-income community and are primarily English learners, which presents unique challenges in engaging them with abstract concepts. However, I firmly believe that hands-on activities can significantly enhance their understanding and enthusiasm for learning.

In our upcoming unit, we will be exploring the creation of scatterplots and investigating the relationships between two quantitative variables.

Utilizing Barbie dolls as visual aids will provide a tangible and relatable context for our students to grasp these statistical concepts. By manipulating the dolls and observing how various factors affect their attributes, such as height, weight, and hair length, students will develop a deeper understanding of data representation and analysis. Your support in providing these dolls would greatly enrich our classroom experience and empower our students to excel in their statistical endeavors.

Thank you for considering our request and for your commitment to enhancing educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their background.
