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

By using manipulatives, students of all learning styles especially kinesthetic and visual learners can grasp challenging math topics like place value, fractions, geometry, and operations. These resources will support small group instruction, independent exploration, and collaborative learning.

My students are curious, creative, and eager to learn.

They thrive when given opportunities to explore math in tactile, visual, and engaging ways. However, many come from low-income households where resources for hands on learning are limited. I want to give them the tools they need to succeed, not just with numbers on paper, but with real-world problem solving.
