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

"Mr. Marquez, I don't know what to do next!" Oh! how many times do I hear this phrase over and over when my students are trying to solve a problem in the classroom? Too many! It is not that the instructions aren't clear, but students are not thinking logically and critically when solving problems.

Through this project, my goal is to better equip my students with daily problem-solving practice using these smart games.

The idea is to acquire 7 sets so I can rotate them throughout the year in my small groups.

I believe these materials will aid me in my goal to create lifelong thinkers rather than "test takers".

Thank you for considering supporting our classroom and investing in the future generation.
