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

My classroom is filled with creative, curious, and hardworking students who are eager to learn not just from textbooks—but from real-life experiences. They light up when given the chance to work on hands-on projects that connect math to the world around them.

The Cricut will help students:

Use real-world math skills like measurement, scale, geometry, unit cost, and data analysis.

Practice budgeting and calculating profit margins.

Collect, interpret, and graph survey data to guide business decisions.

Develop teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity.

See how math connects to entrepreneurship and everyday life.

With your support, I hope to give my students the opportunity to think big, create with intention, and grow through hands-on experiences. This Cricut will be used year after year, inspiring countless students to see math and business through a new lens.

Thank you for investing in their growth, creativity, and future.

Sincerely,

Mrs. V
