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 project is focused on building my students number sense. Having students fluent in K and 1 will help them become stronger in adding and subtracting numbers . Knowing the value of each digit/number is the foundation in becoming stronger mathematicians. Math is an essential part in solving real world problems . Help my students master these foundational skills . Having a strong background will make it easier to solve word problems , adding and subtracting multi digit numbers. Please help me provide my students with a fun and important way to learn number sense .
