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 are tired of the same procedure in each class, each day. I am trying to get my students up and engaged in their learning. Having students work together at dry-erase boards on the wall will help me do that. Students will need coordinate grids to practice on when we tie-in visual representations.

Having reusable coordinate grids will help students feel confident when they make mistakes and inspire them to be creative because they can easily make mistakes and fix them.

Students will be able to make concepts like algebra more concrete by graphing equations and seeing relationships among functions which will help them in their mathematics careers.
