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
"The Lunar New Year presents a rich and authentic opportunity for learning. Teaching about different cultures goes much beyond introducing the food, language, and traditions. It is a natural moment for children to expand their thinking by examining culture."
All we need is some ink and paper (and a decorative backdrop to submerse the learners)!
We can build on the middle school math curriculum during the Lunar New Year, with one of the traditions to paste red papercuts on windows to scare away the Nian monster and bring good luck. Symmetry is very common in Chinese papercutting art as it is a symbol of the ideal, of happiness, and of hope. In this lesson students can enjoy a fun arts and crafts session while learning about reflectional symmetry and mathematical patterns.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
