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
My inquisitive students come from a low socioeconomic area where access to hands-on STEM and math materials in their homes is very limited. My school also has limited funding for technology. Consequently, my students do not have access to computers on a daily basis.
My students all receive free lunch, and some come from foster homes.
My classroom is one of the only places where their thirst for exploring is met. Therefore, I strive to foster an environment where all their questions have an answer or create new questions to explore.
My second graders are a highly inquisitive bunch of thoughtful thinkers. Having materials in my classroom is essential to cultivating a rich learning environment. I love to see that glint in their eye after they figure out a solution.
My Project
This Hand2Mind Math kit will be used both for distance learning and in the classroom. I will be showing the students through Zoom how to use the Versatiles and activities included in the kit in order to reinforce math concepts in an engaging way. When we return to school, I can use the kit as a remedial tool for those students that need additional help.
This Hand2Mind Math kit engages students in critical thinking and spatial awareness skills that will supplement their learning.
The kit challenges students to solve puzzles in a way that builds their knowledge of foundational math concepts.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
