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 need brain breaks in math class. A short daily build your bird house is just the ticket. Students will take a brain break a day to work on building their bird houses and then decorating them with paint. Learning should be fun. Help me take the anxiety out of math related content during these short brain breaks. We are looking to add board games to our learning and classroom.

"Board games enhance mathematical abilities for young children and using board games can be considered a strategy with potential effects on basic and complex math skills."

Boosts critical thinking: Math board games often require players to strategize, plan ahead, and make decisions based on the information available. This nurtures critical thinking and problem-solving skills, essential competencies for academic and life success. The use of games in mathematics education increases motivation and interest, making it easier for students to understand concepts and personalize their learning pace. There is weak and non-robust evidence that games can reduce math anxiety levels.
