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

My students are working hard to improve their math skills and they are really trying to stay motivated to keep learning.

We need whiteboard markers and incentives to keep us learning.

We are learning about multiplying and dividing, we need ways to express our thinking. Our markers are running dry and it's making us hard to solve our problems and show them to others.

It's important for students to show how they solve their work and be able to show it to others. When students can write out their answers and express them verbally to others, they help others understand the material.
