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

When students are excited about learning, they achieve more—and math STEM games are a powerful way to spark that excitement. These engaging, hands-on activities not only make math fun, but also deepen understanding by allowing students to apply concepts in creative and challenging ways. For example, brainnometry will make students solve brain-teasing puzzles that test their knowledge of shapes, critical thinking, fine motor skills. Therefore having the right materials, my students will continue to build confidence, strengthen their math skills, and develop a genuine love for learning. Your support will directly impact their journey toward academic success and mastery of essential math content.
