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

Students love math, but are eventually bored by the routine of memorization and practice of repeated drills and lessons that requires recalling information and applying the skills to solve basic arithmetic. It is only through word problems that students begin to slowly develop critical thinking skills that require them to analyze and model math in multiple ways; and for English Language learners these can become challenging to understand. Yet this level of thinking again does not inspire their creativity to see how math can be beautiful and connected to arts and crafts.

This project gives the students the required materials and directions to independently design artistic creations during math centers that require each child to think conceptually and critically while connecting mathematical logic with artistic creativity.

With the cardstock and student math books, students have a variety of activities to choose from that will inspire their imagination and increase their curiosity for math
