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

We're talking glow-in-the-dark vibes with black lights, bright highlighters, and chart paper everywhere. This glow in the dark experience a super fun and hands-on way to review for my students upcoming unit! It's going to be way more engaging than usual and hopefully get them pumped up about math! I am trying to foster more active learning into my high school math classes, where students are actively involved in the learning process rather than passively listening. This will significantly boost both understanding and retention. When students are doing, discussing, and creating, they're engaging with the material on a deeper level. Plus, the fun and novelty of the glow-in-the-dark review will make the experience more memorable, leading to better recall later on. It's not just about getting through the review; it's about making the learning stick!
