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 Students

Our school is in a suburban area that has a minority of

Hispanic, a small percent of Asian, White, and Black with a socioeconomic structure from mostly middle class to lower middle class.

Nearly all our students are from low‑income households, are English Learners, and some have special needs.

My students are wonderful despite these factors. They give their best in every challenge and keep their spirits high. They might not be academically gifted, but they are hardworking and striving to improve and to grow personally and academically. They are enthusiastic and ready to learn new things.

With your help, I would like to serve them better by giving them materials and support that will hone their mathematical thinking skills. These manipulatives and visual streaming device will help my students connect ideas and integrate their knowledge, gaining a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.

My Project

The use of these manipulatives, Magna-Tiles 100-piece clear colors set in my classroom will be a fun way to develop math, science, spatial and tactile skills that will enhance my students' learning of the concepts in math. The Apple TV streaming device will give me mobility with my iPad, displaying the lessons on the projector. This will help support my students with visual needs.

While giving my students visual support and hands-on experiences that creates fun and engaging environment in learning areas and volumes, it also improves their abstract reasoning and builds up the connection of ideas and integration of their knowledge so that they gain a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.

These projects will be important tools in providing effective, active, and engaging lessons in the teaching of math.
