Celebrating 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 fifth grade mathematicians spend the majority of class on their feet, clustered excitedly around whiteboards. They take turns recording each other's thinking while grappling with interesting problems. When a working session is done, we tour the boards and take notes on the most helpful, clear, and efficient strategies. Then they practice on their own, having avoided a long teacher lecture, and empowered to go back to examples. I pose thoughtfully sequenced problems, but they guide each other through.
We have the boards, we have the motivation, they bring the excitement for math...but sometimes...we run out of...markers.
You can make a huge difference in our classroom by making sure this never happens.
