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

I teach Pre-algebra, and the curriculum has many concepts where students need to graph, do geometric transformations, and find distances, rate of change, slopes, and functions. I usually draw quadrants with permanent markets on the whiteboard, but they fade and are not precise. I have to erase it immediately to continue the lesson. Also, it does not allow the students to explore and collaborate with their teams because only a group can work on it.

Having the quadrants will allow me to explain and model while the students take their time to copy what I am doing because I can leave the examples on the board and allow them to take notes and process questions.

I can use them for several lessons because I start with coordinate points, then how the coordinate points change after rotations, reflections, and rotations, find distances, rate of change, and slope, and identify if graphs, tables, or mappings are functions.
